PREFACE. 

"Whomsoever the Lord loveth, he chasteneth." 
At this writing it looks a little that way. For up 
yonder in Tennessee and West Virginia the lords are 
chastening the people quite severely. ' A few lords 
claim the coal that they never created and to which 
they have no more right than the Czar of Russia. 
There are three things to which title cannot be given. 
Those three things are air, water and earth (land). 
Those three things are alike the property of all — 
bird, animal, fish and woman. For the lord or lords 
to hold and prevent others from using those three 
things is an evil and tyranical act — a species of reli- 
gious robbery. Air, water and land belong to those 
who placed them here. 

I propose to show in this book that we can only 
claim that which we create and that society rests upon 
a lie. I will prove this by scientific analysis. I will 
demonstrate beyond all cavil, that law is altogether of 
man's begetting and was purposely instituted to de- 
feat and take the place of Justice. Law is the begot- 
ten of religion and religion is the first-born of priest- 
craft. I shall prove beyond controversy that evil is 
the creation of man and that all evil upon this planet 
is directly traceable to man and not to woman (Eve). 
I will show to any unprejudiced mind that the priests 
have been and are the cause of evil upon our globe. 
I shall further prove that life is not a mystery and 
that the priests who pose before the people in the 



— re- 
names of religion, medicine and law, are either hypo- 
crites or knaves. Again, I will fully elucidate the 
truth that God and Lord are priestly creations and 
hence a fabrication — a dual condition at that; I will 
show to any rational mind that priestcraft is the 
curse of the earth and that religion is the bane of the 
earth. 

Again, I will demonstrate to any just person, 
What, How, Who and Where we are, a proposition 
that has not been correctly answered before nor since 
the time of Job. I will prove that immortality is a 
fact, yes more, a Divine Truth. Further, I will satisfy 
any sane mind that death does not take place until 
after our second birth, and not then until we have 
righted the evils of life. The end of evil is death. 

Again, I will prove scientifically and philosophically 
that Divinity is Feminine and that we have a Divine 
Mother. I will further demonstrate that She has NO 
law, but that justice is everywhere present in Eterni- 
ty. I will further satisfy the truthful and enquiring 
mind that eternity is one vast and wonderful tem- 
ple supported by principle, and in this eternity are 
contained the beautiful and magnificent that our Di- 
vine Mother has in store for Her children. Thus I pre- 
face my lessons, and all I ask of anyone is a just and 
impartial decision, a rational and unprejudiced read- 
ing. Lay aside your evils and seek for THE Truth, 
who comes to us robed in problems. 

DE. GEOKJEAN MILLEB. 



LESSON I. 

My dear children, I want you to become acquainted 
with yourselves. That is, to know what you are, how 
you are, who you are and where you are. When you 
have become familiar with yourself, then it will be 
quite easy for you to become acquainted with your 
companions, parents and teachers. To know what you 
are is the first thing for you to learn. Can you answer 
the question, What are you ? I will tell you. You are 
a trinity — a triune being. A trinity consists of three 
things. In your arithmetic you may have seen the figure 
or picture called a triangle. This triangle has three 
sides or supports. The surveyor rests his compass 
upon a triangle. He might tell you it was a tripod, 
because of its three legs. But they are in the form 
of a triangle and support his compasses. A three 
legged stool rests upon a triangle. If there were but 
two legs it would be dual and the support would be 
wanting. The stool would be useless. In life as well 
as in mathematics, the triangle is a most important 
figure. In fact it is a necessity and I want you to 
make yourselves familiar with it so you will become 
wise in the affairs of life. 

By a trinity you would infer that you are composed 
of three things. Your inference would be correct. Of 
your creation you have never been correctly taught, 
and it is my object in this book to give you the Truth. 
Armed wth the truth, you cannot be easily deceived 



nor misled. You are a trinity — a creation and an 
effect — you had a "beginning and it is most important 
that you should know of that fact, wherefore we ask 
the question, What are we? The question, Who 
made you? is misleading, and the answer generally 
FALSE. Who made you is a question born of ignor- 
ance, and is a delusion and a snare. Only an ignor- 
ant and vulgar person would ask so senile a question. 

1 — What is the first question or proposition ? 

2 — What are the questions asked? 

3 — What is the first thing to learn? 

4 — Do you know, what are you? 

5 — Of what does a trinity consist? 

6 — To what figure are we cited? 

7 — What is a tringle sometimes called? 

8 — Can you describe a triangle? 

9 — Will two legs support a stool? 

10 — Why? Does the triangle apply to life? 

11 — Is it important? By studying the triangle and 
learning its use, what do we become? 

12 — Have we been correctly taught? 

13 — What are we besides being a trinity? 

14 — With what fact should we become acquainted? 

15 — The question, Who made you? is what? 

1G — Of what is it born? 

17 — Is it vulgar? 



LESSON ii. 

In our first lesson I told you that you were a trin- 
ity and I also discoursed to you about the triangle and 
some of its uses. I will now talk to you about that 
trinity and ask you the question: How are you? 
That is., how are you constructed? Of what do you 
nor misled. You are a trinity — a creation and an 
consist? How are you organized? This is another 
most important question, and one with which all, both 
young and old, should become acquainted and never 
forget. It belongs to our foundation, the very rock 
upon which we should build, the predicate, and with 
it you cannot become too familiar if you would make 
life a success. 

I doubt very much if you can answer this great 
question : How are you ? When you meet each other 
you greet by saying, How are you ? That is, you mean, 
How is your health? This question of mine does 
not allude to or refer to your health, but to your state 
of being — your construction — all that there is of you; 
your head, body, arms and legs. "What is included in 
this construction? I answer, a trinity. Of what does 
that trinity consist? Answer — matter, spirit and vir- 
tue. Those three things are essential to your very 
being — your very existence. You could not have been 
born had you not been a compound of those three 
things. Those three things are not compounded the 



—10— 

same as medicine. They all belong to and are a part 
of yon. They are all separate from each other. The 
matter is no part of von — spirit is yon. The matter 
is the clothing and support to yon (the spirit). When 
yon were born, a sweet little babe, yon were a complete 
trinity — a triune being, a most beautiful creation. 
Spirit — you yourself are located in the head. Your 
brain contains the faculties through which you think, 
act and control your body, legs and arms. 

To your mother are you indebted for being here, 
and that mother should have an ocean of love for her 
babe, and that babe when grown should never forget 
that mother's love. The mother's first duty is to her 
child, her second duty to herself. The father's first 
duty is to the mother, his second duty to his child, and 
his third duty to himself. The child's first duty is to 
the mother. To be just and led with love is the 
imperative duty of all.

LESSON III. 

"What are we ? How are we and who are we ? Here 
we have three problems. Two of them I gave you in 
the two preceding lessons. We will now deal with the 
third problem. As I stated in regard to the first two 
propositions I will again reiterate. I doubt if you 
can answer this very interesting question, Who are 
you? This query does not allude to your nationality, 
but has a direct meaning that relates to your very ex- 
istence as a living, moving, active being. As such, the 
question is directed to everyone who reads. Who are 
you? Answer: A personality. You were born a 
distinct and separate personality. It requires virtue 
in the shape and form of a Soul to make a personality. 
If you did not have a soul you would not be a triune 
being and hence not a personality. Matter and Spirit 
must be gathered and united here where Dame Na- 
ture has a home. All life must begin with nature. 
First, born into nature, and second, born out of na- 
ture. A triune being has two births. A duality has 
but one. A duality is without reason. It is but an in- 
dividuality. All evil life is a duality and hence we 
should say the individual, to whatever we allude that 
is dual. Only personalities have the opportunity to 
become immortal. I am giving you these les- 
sons to aid you to become immortal. I am 
blazing a pathway through the forests and 



—13— 

jungles of ignorance and superstition so you 
may catch a gleam of eternity's sun. Your 
soul came from where that light shines perpetual and 
forever. To continue in possession of that soul is the 
object I have in view, in my presentation of these les- 
sons. 

Ignorance is not excusable, and yet you are ignorant 
of those sublime truths. To acquire wisdom we must 
study spritual science. The science of which you read 
is material. Plainly speaking, five-sixths of so-called 
science is no science at all. To acquire truth we 
should first be just. Again, only as you get the truth 
can you acquire Wisdom. When people tell you that 
a God gave } T ou your soul, they are telling you a false- 
hood. It required your mother to give you birth and 
it requires a Divine Mother to furnish a soul. 

Xot anything is so far from the truth as the falla- 
cious teaching of the God theory. Those who teach 
that dogma are ignorant of life, of the answers to the 
questions, What, How and Who are we. 

1 — How does our lesson begin? 

2 — What is the query asked in this lesson? 

3 — Give the answer?

25 — Why do people teach that dogma? 

NOTE TO TEACHERS. 

You should explain to the full satisfaction of the 
pupil the difference between a truth and a theory — I 
say the God theory. For hundreds of thousands of 
years this proclaiming of a God has been in vogue, and 
yet it remans a theory. No theorem can be produced. 
It is not a problem. Truth comes to us in problem. 
When I solved the problem and found that a Divinity 
was at the head of affairs, another more perplexing 
came up. Can there be a God? NO! Every problem 
answered in words of purest light — a Divine Mother. 
I have seen that Mother and I have conversed with 
Her several times. If you still seek for further truth 
place yourselves upon the spiritual plane and those 
from that plane will testify. No one has ever seen a 
god except those in human forms. Countless thous- 



— 15— 

ands have sought for a God and sought in vain. Xo 
scientist has ever been able to produce a problem out 
of that God theory. Give your reason sway and teach 
those tender little blossoms the Divine Truth. As 
you progress you will become happier and happier un- 
til your life will be one joyous day. Your soul m will be 
in harmony with you more and more as the chains 01 
ignorance and superstition are sundered. 



—16— 



LESSON IV. 

"We have disposed of three very grave and important 
questions in our first three lessons, and now we are 
confronted with another problem that has been a very 
difficult one throughout all the many centuries. Where 
are we? is a query that no sage, scientist nor philoso- 
pher has ever been able to answer. It is a problem for 
spiritual scientists, and one that can only be solved 
from a spiritual standpoint. 

Spiritualism has given us the opportunity and made 
it possible for us to study science spiritually. Spirit- 
ualism gives us a fulcrum upon which we can rest our 
scientific lever; wherefore we are better able to answer 
this great question. 

Where are we? 

If you will step out of the house of a clear evening 
and look up into the heavens you will see what astron- 
omers call the milky way. This is a great, white look- 
ing belt or circle and is made up of suns that are the 
centers of planetary systems, like our own sun, and 
other most wonderful divisions. Of those divisions 
I will not now speak. This great circle contains in 
its completed circumference, three hundred abodes or 
divisions. Those abodes are separate and distinct one 
from the other, and yet they are united, very similar 
to the union of links in a chain. Every abode occupies 
the same amount of territory. Some of those abodes 



—17— 

are a perfect sphere, others are only in part a sphere. 
The outside of the abode is constructed so as to rep- 
resent some musical instrument or mathematical fig- 
ure or some form of life. Each and every one of those 
abodes have a diameter of seventy-six quadrillion de- 
cillion of our miles. "Where the circle is most narrow 
is where the abode is a complete sphere from center 
to circumference, and it is here the astronomers can 
make their measurements if they wish to test the 
truth concerning my statements. 

We are at the end of that circle, or more properly 
the terminus, where the two ends of the great circle 
come together. Our abode is the three hundredth 
and completes the circle. . Our abode being a complete 
and perfect sphere. If you will multiply 
seventy-six quadrillion decillion by three hun- 
dred, the number of abodes, you will get the 
mean circumference of that great circle, sometimes 
called the milky way or milkmaid's path. 

My children, you will not be able to grasp so im- 
mense a proposition as those diameters present, but 
I would have you know something of magnitude. I 
am trying to aid you, so you can form some kind of an 
idea of that wonderful eternity. This milky way, 
great as is its circumference, is but an infinitesimal 
part of that unfathomable eternity. 

The abode to which you belong will be your home 
forever. The center of the abode will be your center. 
From that center you expand, radiate, progress and 
reach out. The head of an abode is a woman. That 
is, a woman has charge, the complete control. She 
directs and is the chosen representative of our Divine 



— IS— 

Mother. This representative must be a person of 
great virtue, great maternity, scientific attainment 
and executive ability. I have on several occasions con- 
versed with the woman who is to be our Divine Moth- 
er's representative — that is, have charge of this abode. 
Multiply four quadrillion octillion years by thirty-six 
and the answer will give you the number of years this 
lovely and loving woman has been an inhabitant of 
eternity. My children, I am giving you divine truths; 
no theory, no priestly hallucination. There are no 
devils or gods in eternity. Those kinds of individuali- 
ties are here in human forms and they are the only 
ones you will ever see.

33 — Where are they to be found? 

31 — Are they personalities? 

35 — What has this lesson taught us ? 

]S T OTE. 

The teacher will find the blackboard a most neces- 
sary factor. In fact it is a necessity. We must demon* 
strate instead of praying. Prayer brings corruption, 
dependence, serfdom. Prayer binds us to matter, de- 
stroys reason and makes of us slaves to the hypnotizer 
and his fake presentations. Truth asks to be heard. 
Demonstration is the hearing. Truth comes through 
reason and demonstration. Ignorance is the insipid, 
filthy stream that runs under the altar of prayer, sac- 
rifice and incense. 



—20— 



LESSON V. 

In our last lesson we established ourselves, or more 
properly located our future home. The question was, 
Where are we ? Having answered the question we 
will now proceed in search of more truth, accumulate 
more wisdom, and further strengthen our position by 
adding to our foundation. Another question of great 
moment confronts us. Our place in the abode — where 
is it? That great circle has an outside and an inside 
circumference. We are on the outside cir- 
cumference and twelve solar spheres from vacant; 
territory. Mind, I told you that our abode completed 
the great circle. Directly outside of our abode and in 
the direction going away from our abode and the 
great circle is an immense region of vacant territory. 
The distance across that territory is immensity itself. 
To get out there to that vacant territory we must 
cross twelve solar or sun spheres. The diameter of one 
of those spheres is one trillion, eight hundred billion 
of our miles. Multiply this diameter by twelve, the 
number of solar spheres, and -we have the distance we 
must travel to reach that vacant territory. One of 
those solar spheres is sufficiently large to contain a 
great many planetary systems. Now, children, if we 
would travel in an opposite direction, say toward the 
inner circumference of the great circle; then cross over 
to the opposite side of our circle, and then cross the 



—21— 

abode,, where we came in contact with the 
inner circumference, when we arrived on the other 
side, we would see another circle, similar to our own. 
When a great number of those circles are completed, 
and united they form one grand sphere. 

Xow, my children, who do you suppose it is that 
lays out and plans this stupendous magnificence? 
Have you the least idea? Do you know? Spiritual- 
ism has furnished us with keys. All we have to 
do is to use those keys. By the use of those keys we 
gain admission to the great temple of Spiritual 
Science and there Truth opens up her volumes and 
Ave discover that we are but babes living on the con- 
fines of eternity and that a Divinie Mother is the 
Great Architect. 

By the study of spiritual science we discover What, 
How, Who and Where we are, and who plans all the 
great things of magnitude that belong to that eter- 
nity. 

We are living here upon a planet to prepare ourselves 
for our second birth. Now this planet belongs to a plan- 
etary system. This system has one sun and several 
planets. The system is located in a solar sphere and 
this solar sphere belongs to an abode which we call 
Our Abode. This abode is one of three hundred 
abodes that make one circle or Milky Way or Milk 
Maid's Patli. All of this stupendous system belongs 
to our Divine Mother. We have had a beginning, but 
not so with our Divinie Mother. She hath always 
been. There never was a time when She was not a 
mother. She hath always progressed and She always 
will. That loving Mother, adorning and beautifying 



—22— 

Her wonderful eternity for Her children. Do we ap- 
preciate this work of our loving Mother? Will you 
love that Mother and practice her virtues ?

31 — Does she progress? 

32 — Who adorns eternity? For whom? 

33 — Do we appreciate this? 

3-4 — Will you love that Divine Mother ? How ? 

The teacher should draw a circle. Then two dotted 
circles, one on the outside, the other inside. Those 
dotted circles represent the two circumferences. Then 
draw a sphere to represent our abode. Try and im- 
press your pupils with the grahdness and magnitude 
of all this and then draw the comparison of the bible 
theory of creation, to those beautiful truths.

LESSON VI. 

In our last lesson I told you that we had a Divine 
3 rather, and it was this loving Mother who did all the 
planning for the constructing of abodes, circles and 
solar spheres. You see, my children, we are dealing 
with problems that belong to eternity. Forever, eter- 
nity, Love and our Divine Mother are not problems. 
Why? you will ask. Because they are beyond oar 
mental range. They are more than we are able to 
grasp. We are lost, amazed at the wondrous depths, 
the stupendous magnitude and we are content to con- 
fine ourselves where we belong. We must approach 
step by step. Tbe light of eternity would be too much 
for us — that beauty and sublimity we could not stard, 
if we were to be ushered into that great temple be- 
fore being prepared. Our Divine Mother has made 
it easy for Her children. She possesses the love and 
wisdom. She is a perfect trinity — a distinct and sep- 
arate personality. If She was not neither would we 
be. In fact, we would have no existence, hence would 
not be here. The possibilities that are presented to 
us as we progress fill us with admiration and awe. We 
are not such a trinity as our Divine Mother. We in- 
clude matter and matter cannot cross the circle of 
justice. To have a beginning we had to be created 
in matter. We had our start in nature. Nature has al- 
ways been at work. Nature is kept at work by our Di- 



—25— 

vine Mother and Her children. How is it done ? By 
the use of principles. Here we live in nature and we 
have material bodies. Xow, we should so live that 
when we pass out of these material bodies we should 
be borne upon the spiritual plane and then you will 
be without one particle of matter and be a counterpart 
of that Divine Mother. You will be in Her image — a 
resemblance of that Mother, to whom all are indebted 
for the opportunity to become immortal. 

If we live spiritual and virtuous lives here we will 
be borne upon the spiritual plane of the spirit world 
and in the likeness of Divinity. The Mother of all, 
and yet not the creator of all, but has made it possible 
for us to be, to exist, to move, think and progress — to 
act, do and think as we please and no one knows our 
thoughts. The two words that lead all words and are 
at the same time pre-eminent throughout eternity, are 
these, Mother and Love — robed in virtue, maternity 
and spirit, supported by principle, no beginning, 
boundless and more than eternity, the dearest of 
names known to the children of woman. Sublimity 
herself. The name of our Divine Mother is Love.

The parents and teachers should not let opportunity 
escape of drawing the contrast between the teachings 
of spiritualism and the silly myths and allegories of 
religion. The six days creation — a little globe, a little 
priestly imagination, a little man created out of dust; 
a little breath given to arouse him, a little rib from 
which Eve sprang. All of which were created by a 
little god. How wonderful!

LESSOX VII. 

In our first lesson you were told that you were a 
trinity, made up of three parts or things which we 
called matter, spirit and virtue. In this lesson we will 
consider the first proposition. That is, we will talk 
about matter and learn of its uses and necessities. Mat- 
ter in its original state is dead; that is, matter is with- 
out life, inactive, not anything but matter. This is the 
matter out of which suns and planets are made — yes, 
all that is connected with them in the shape of mat- 
ter. This matter is subject to many changes. The 
kinds of minerals, gases, transparent and rarified mat- 
ter, liquids, etc., that can be made out of original mat- 
ter are almost without number. It is beyond our cal- 
culation. Matter is not created. Matter has always 
been — is indestructible, hence shall always be in use 
one way or another. Matter is the crude of ether. 
Every solar sphere contains four storehouses that con- 
tain this crude, dead matter. Those storehouses are 
of immense size and are located one in each quarter of 
the sphere and in the center of the quarter. Cut an 
orange into four quarters. Those quarters will an- 
swer to the quarters of a solar sphere. Those store- 
houses furnish all the matter that is used in the con- 
struction of suns and planets in the solar sphere where 
they are located. Those storehouses are spherical in 
shape or form and are several millions of miles in 



—28— 

diameter, yes, "billions of miles. Children, do yon not 
think this a pretty good sized storehouse? 

Those storehouses and their contents belong to our 
Divine Mother. She provides those houses for Her 
children. Here they get their material and they can 
have all they can use by conforming to the require- 
ments of Justice. All storehouses of matter are in 
charge of men. Those men must be messengers of 
Justice and must be persons of great executive ability. 
They have billions of messengers to aid in dealing out 
matter to those who come for it to construct their sys- 
tems. Every particle of matter must be taken ac- 
count of and when the s}^stem has run its course this 
matter must be returned again and their account can- 
celed. System, Order and Harmony prevail through- 
out eternity. We dare not act unjustly, even with 
dead, crude matter. Do you not think that those men 
who claim to own great bodies of land, mines, water 
and other effects, will have an immense debt to can- 
cel? Best easy, my children, justice will be done.

This lesson branches 'off of Xo. 1. It is also con- 
nected with V and YI. Here teachers should recapit- 
ulate for by so doing they will be better able to note 
the progress of the pupils. We must get the children 
imbued with the truths and facts contained in those 
lessons.

LESSOX VIII. 

In the previous lesson I told you of those immense 
storehouses where the matter was kept for building 
purposes. That those houses and their contents were 
the property of our Divine Mother and that She had 
pie and study. The surveying and building of plane- 
tary systems is left for Her children to do. Mother 
provided them especially for Her children, so they 
could procure the material and add practice to princi- 
could do all of such work, but She prefers that Her 
children shall do it. Thus She gives us the opportu- 
nity to show our ability — our wisdom. In this way 
we begin to aid our Divine Mother, to help Her in 
creating and becoming factors of importance to Her 
forever in Her eternity. Our Divine Mother does not 
sit upon a throne, neither does she wear a crown. 
She does not reign — She has no altars, no places of 
worship. Her temples are dedicated to the science of 
eternity — the Divine Arts and the Divine Virtues. 
After your second birth when you have acquired the 
wisdom so you can have your planetary system you 
will have the opportunity to visit the great storehouse 
of matter. This will be the first building that you 
will see that belongs to our Loving Mother. All that 
you have previously seen belongs to Her children; their 
work, produced by their efforts, and you will have the 
same privilege; provided you succeed in reaching the 



—31— 

spiritual plane. Having told you of those storehouses 
that contain matter, I will now proceed and give you an 
account of another great structure. 

This spherical shaped edifice is called the Store- 
house of Principles of and for matter. This place is 
located near the center of the solar sphere and there 
is but one such edifice in each sphere. Those princi- 
ples are not matter. They are separate and distinct 
from matter. As much so as the flame on the end of 
the wick is distinct from the oil in the lamp, and yet 
they affinitise with and direct matter in countless 
ways. Those principles have instinct, while the finer 
or more subtle, possess intelligence. The number of 
those principles is very great and the different kinds 
are immense. Their combinations go beyond our men- 
tal calibre. This storehouse and its contents also be- 
long to our Divine Mother. The principles and de- 
signs for a material creation are all kept here for all 
those who build systems in the sphere where it is lo- 
cated. A messenger of Justice has charge. The store- 
houses of principle of matter, like those of matter, 
are always placed in charge of men. When you have 
become better acquainted with spiritual science you 
will learn why this is so. 

The messenger in charge of our storehouse of prin- 
ciples has visited us more than a score of times and it 
has been from him that I received my information. 
He has lived in the spirit world more than forty bil- 
lion of our years. (You may think this a long time, 
my children, but, you must remember, we are dealing 
with eternity.) This messenger is a lovable and lov- 
ing man. He is a great teacher and is a man of great 



—32— 

executive ability and scientific attainments. He has 
more than a trillion assistants and many times more 
pupils. The messengers who are building systems go 
to this storehouse for their principles and designs. 

Our little planet has but an infinitesimal amount of 
the collection that is contained in that wonderful 
storehouse. If it were not for those principles we 
would have no suns, no planets. By the use of those 
principles matter is made serviceable. Fire is an ef- 
fect. That effect is produced by the application of 
the principle called heat. Heat applied to something 
that is combustible, such as wood, oil and coal, produces 
fire. By this fire we cook our meals, and warm our- 
selves when cold.

NOTE. 

Parents and teachers should be governed by an as- 
piration that has the whole planet for a school honse. 
Teach, train and lead the young along those spiritual 
science lines and the product will be women and men 
of calibre — broad range and virtuous attainments. 
Aid the little ones to grasp all they can assimilate. 
Sever the coils of the serpent of tyranny, avarice, jeal- 
ousy, prejudice and cruelty, and become women and 
men and not the pitiful slaves of priestcraft.

LESSOJST IX. 

To build a sun and planets the messengers go to the 
storehouse of matter and get what is required. All 
suns and planets are spherical, round, like an orange or 
ball. The creating or building begins in the center 
and matter is added to matter. The building is from 
the inside out toward the surface. To change this 
crude matter, principles are brought from the store- 
house of principles of matter. Those principles are 
applied or infused, and the kind of principles used 
designate the kind of mineral produced. Coal, gas 
and oils are produced in this way. Water and air re- 
quire the more subtle principles. Everything in the 
body of the planet is first created, then the water, and 
last the dress to the planet, called atmosphere. The 
planet proper being completed, the atmosphere is next 
to be completed. This atmosphere contains much that 
you know not anything about. All the rarified matter 
that is required for the botanical or vegetable king- 
dom is placed in the air, all of which is invisible. We 
cannot see the air, neither its contents. This air and 
that which it contains is of greatest value. The planet 
proper is but the foundation, the support or walls to 
all that is beautiful in life and the support of life. 
The mineral kingdom includes all that is under our 
feet, while the kingdoms of life and their clothing 
live in the air, are contained in the air, except a very 



—35— 

little that is held in the embrace of water. Water is 
the dividing line between the earth and air— visible 
and invisible matter, life and her garments. 

Air is the most important of all things created out 
of matter. After the air conies the water. Electricity 
is created out of matter. The poles of matter are the 
places of egress and ingress. The principles used in 
the creation of electricity are of several kinds, and 
hence there are several grades of electricity. Elec- 
tricity belongs to matter. Matter is the home of elec- 
tricity. Electricity has to do with matter and not with 
life. One kind of elecrticity is adhesive or attractive, 
another is repellant or repulsive. By the working of 
those grades* do we get our rain. Electricity can be 
likened unto a perfect watch that records time per- 
fectly. If we allow dust or little grains of sand to get 
into our watch it will no longer keep perfect time. It 
runs hap-hazard, jumps and starts. Electricity is the 
most subtle thing created out of matter that has force, 
power. When coarse matter in the shape of evil inter- 
feres with the more subtle grades of electricity, then 
we have the thunder bolt, cyclones, extremes of various 
kinds, and all life is placed in jeopard}'. 

Evil is very material. The thoughts of an evil man, 
one who is avaricious, tyrannical, cruel — one who lusts 
for power, who tramples the rights of others under his 
feet. Such a one's thoughts are more material than 
electricity. They disturb the harmony, set aside order 
and interfere with system. Those evil thoughts go 
into the atmosphere and are to electricity just what 
the grains of sand are to the watch. Here is an illus- 
tration of a man who has manv more times evil than a 



— 36— 

viper, so that when he died, as we are told, he Was so 
evil that he could not be permitted to remain on the 
material plane and the messengers took him away and 
placed him in confinement and put him to work. That 
was Cecil Rhodes of Africa, a villianous man, one with- 
out one principle, an avaricious glutton worth two 
hundred millions. All matter — he strove for matter. 
He will now make matter and pay his debts and then 
he will be annihilated. He had no thought for any- 
thing but matter, and he elevated matter and placed 
it in the air in the shape of life. Children, if you 
would be immortal, copy not after such loathsome 
beasts as Cecil Ehodes.

LESSON" X. 

Principles, like matter, have no beginning. They 
are not created, because they have always been. They 
are a part of eternity. Science and Art are co-equal 
with Eternity and time. They have no limit, because 
no beginning. All but matter are progressive. Matter 
being dead, cannot progress. Do you see, my chil- 
dren, how silly it is for men to strive as they do to 
accumulate the most worthless thing in all eternity? 
Evil men sacrifice every principle for matter, called 
wealth. This cannot be taken with them, and since 
they have no principle they are borne upon the ma- 
terial plane decrepid, miserable beggars — a loathe- 
some growth, matter individualized. When man 
thinks and acts evil, then the act and deed goes to 
the principles of matter and evil life is the result. 
The principles will work with whatever we provide. 
The mill will grind whatever we place in the hopper. 
All evil life is matter individualized. This would not, 
could not be if man were just. Man is the cause of 
every evil upon our planet. To stop evil men must 
cease to think and act evil. To get rid of serpents, 
tigers, cats, flies, bugs, sharks, hawks, etc., etc., we 
must cease giving them support by thought and deed. 
Every beastly thing on our planet is supported by the 
avarice and propagated by the lusts and licenciousness 
of man. Beastly as are panthers, lice, lizzards, snakes, 



— *9— 

etc., etc., those evil creations are not as beastly as the 
evil men who create and support them. A stream of 
water never rises above its source. I am dealing with 
evil in this lesson because it belongs to matter. All 
evil life must have a little spirit. This little spirit 
with much evil comes from men. Spirit is a prisoner 
in the coils of individualized matter. The more evil 
the Jess spirit. Matter covets matter. The more evil 
a man is the less he respects the rights and liberties 
of others. Evil 'is no respecter of innocence nor old 
age. Hence evil men enslave their fellow men. Cruelty 
and fanaticism, vanity and egotism in man is no re- 
specter of spirit life in others. All evil men are dom- 
inated by matter, one way or the other. The prize 
they covet is power, either position or wealth. They 
have not shame — no sympathy. For all evil, like mat- 
ter, is dead to decency and good breeding. Now, my 
children, take away the principles that are used in 
the making of our planet and all that belongs to it 
and what remains ? Can you tell what is left to those 
gluttons of wealth and power? Do you not see how 
silly and idiotic it is for man to practice evil? The 
support of evil is ignorance. Ignorance is like dead 
matter. It requires something to move it. The men 
who are responsible for ignorance are the men who 
mostly aid in the individualizing of matter. The min- 
eral kingdom, water and air and all that the earth con- 
tains was placed here by messengers of Justice and it 
belongs in part to them and part to our Divine Mother. 
Hence no one has a right to take or hold more than 
they require for their individual support or those 
depending upon them. No one can claim that which 



—40— 

they have not created. Xo man nor men can give 
title to land. When men and governments hold the 
title to land, water, mines, etc., etc., they do so by 
an evil process which is robbery — stealth by laws that 
are the creations of evil men for their evil practices. 

The beginning of evil took place upon this planet 
when men began to seek for power, praise, vanity and 
service. Thus it was that religion began its terrible 
career of slavery, idolatry, sorrow and tears, cruelty 
and oppression.

Parents and teachers will bear in mind that I am 
giving Divine Truths and that it is of the ntmost im- 
portance that the children be made acquainted with 
every fact. Do not hurry nor crowd them, give them 
time. You are dealing with children, some of whom 
may have acquired evil. To get rid of this evil is your 
duty as well as to present those truths. Be firm, be 
just, be merciful, be loving, then suggest, impigne 
Aour thoughts upon the child when asleep. Thus you 
can eradicate evil. The children of this generation 
are drunk with avarice. Bear that in mind and act ac- 
cordingly.

LESSON XL 

Suns and planets have their beginning as such. I 
have told you how they are created. When the}' have 
run or fulfilled the time for which they were built, 
then they die. The sun is the first to wane. As the 
matter is consumed by the principles, the strength or 
energy diminishes and when that time comes the 
planets begin to show weakness and life decreases. A 
few centuries and there remains no life. Then the 
principles begin to withdraw. First, those in the at- 
mosphere, and when they have all been returned to the 
storehouse, the rarified matter which was a part of 
our air, is all precipitated in the water. The princi- 
ples used in making water next disappear and the mat- 
ter is all precipitated and becomes a part of the earth. 
The principles used in constructing the mineral king- 
dom now are gathered up and their departure takes 
place. The planet is now dead — yes, cold, crude, dead 
matter. Those gluttons after wealth will now have 
a feast. It is such a one as no person cares for. The 
sun and planets have disappeared and all that is left 
Is the matter and the orbit. This matter must be re- 
turned to the storehouse of matter. The orbits are 
closed up and there remains no sign of a system ever 
having been located there. The accumulations of the 
wealthy and rulers go with that dead matter, and their 
possessors, too, if they have not finished paying their 



—43— 

debts. It will be a sorry time for evil doers and sup- 
porters. Thus will evil be clothed in the dark, black 
shroud of oblivion. When people become worship- 
pers, matter becomes god and the possessors of matter 
are looked upon as gods. Evil idolizes matter, but 
shuns Virtue. Evil acts by stealth and manoeuvers 
through the ruts of policy, but discards principle and 
spirit. 

Out of what was evil born ? Can you answer ? Reli- 
gion is the cause, evil the effect. From whence came 
religion? Priestcraft created religion. Religion is an 
effect, produced by the teachings of men called priests. 
Thus religion had its origin in man. Being evil, it is 
not found in eternity. It lives and dies among its 
creators and supporters. 

Religion belongs to matter, lives and thrives in mat- 
ter. Is cruel, remorseless, jealous, revengeful, filled 
with hate, spleen and prejudice. It stops not, but per- 
petrates the most hideous crimes. A glutton whose 
avaricious maw is never satisfied. It rules with hands 
of blood. It has its chosen and its rulers and with 
fire, -word and fagot it cuts its trails of horror and mis- 
ery in every land, in every clime. It is more brazen 
than the serpent, more terrible in anger than the tiger, 
and its thirst for blood surpasses the cravings of a 
vampire. Priestcraft has and will perpetrate any 
crime in tin- name of its religion and its creeds. It has 
no shame — like matter, dead to decency and good 
breeding, it feels only like matter, which is no feeling. 
It i- ever drunk with avarice and passion. It is an in- 
grate and will turn like a panther upon its own kin 
'when they refuse its idols. To kill and slay is pastime 



—44— 

and sport. It is the inventor of every mode of torture. 
It is the enemy of principle, spirit and virtue. It is 
a robber, a thief, for it takes of that which it does not 
produce. It is a creator and supporter of evil, but 
lives upon that which others have provided. It is a 
tiling of matter, materiality, materialism. Those three 
things are the tripod that form a seat for evil. Reli- 
gious, medical and political priestcraft form the trian- 
gle of evil upon which tyranny has erected a throne. 

Virtue is never found among cruel, evil men. My 
children, shun evil. . Have not anything to do with 
evil people. Spurn priestcraft and hearken not to 
them if you would travel in the avenue that leads to 
immortality. Never idolize matter. Never worship. 
Matter belongs under our feet. Matter is to be used 
for the purposes for which it was and is intended, not 
anything more or less. Of matter, all are equal share- 
holders. 

Do not pray nor practice idolatry of any kind. It is 
degrading, material and leads to submission, depen- 
dence and slavery. Bear in mind, the priests arc the 
monsters of the earth. They arc the fathers of all of 
the sorrows and miseries. The creators and supporters 
of evil life, the enemies of Justice and Truth, the de- 
stroyers of every good.

LESSON XII. 

In this lesson we will take up the second propo- 
sition — Life. In our last lesson we finished/ for the 
time, our discourse' on the first proposition, which was 
matter, its uses and abuses. I have told you that we 
are a trinity, and that this trinity consisted of three 
things — matter, spirit and virtue; therefore, our pres- 
ent lesson will include the second proposition — spirit. 

Spirit is life. Life of many kinds is produced by 
spirit. There can be no life without spirit. All spirit 
is alike but all life is not. There are many grades 
upon our planet. Evil has extended the list. Where 
there is no evil the grades run in mathematical order 
and there is no discord, no poverty, no crime, no de- 
vouring of flesh, no idols, no worship, no tyranny. 
Spirit is created. Matter is not created, but evil can 
be created out of matter. Thoughts are things. Now, 
if our thoughts are evil they cannot be spirit, but if 
those evil thoughts surround a very small particle of 
spirit then they live and we have evil life. Spirit is 
held a prisoner and growth takes place. Matter has 
no gender. Man provides the gender for evil. All 
spirit is feminine, hence all femininity should be free 
to act and do, but it is not so upon our planet. Femi- 
ninity is a slave; man is ruler. That tiny part of spirit 
enclosed in evil is made to perform the disagreeable 
function of propagating evil life. If men were not 



—47— 

evil, this would not, could not be. Herein comes the 
great curse of evil men. Spirit held in bondage and 
forced to produce — femininity a slave, a serf, a beg- 
gar. And, my dear children, our priests of religion, 
medicine and politics (sometimes called law) uphold, 
sustain and demand this slavery — bondage — this pol- 
luting of spirit and this propagating of evil life. Man's 
lust and avarice feeds this evil life. His licencious- 
ness and jealousy enslaves spirit and holds it a pris- 
oner. Evil embracing and murdering spirit — how 
chilling and horrible — how wanting is the earth of 
manly men, of gallant boys. Spirit is created by per- 
sons of principle; people who support Justice and Love 
Truth. Every grand thought is a creative of spirit. 
When you send a thought out through the faculties 
of the brain, that thought creates either spirit or evil. 
Your thoughts go out through the faculties addressed. 
Xow if those faculties are thoroughfares for evil, then 
evil is the result, but on the contrary, if you are a per- 
son of principle, then those faculties respond in uni- 
son and spirit is the product. It is a safe proposition 
for us to say, that if a person does not possess prin- 
ciple, be is not just, and a person who is not just is 
not honc-t. 

To be a spiritual being should be the object of 
everyone. Spirituality gives immortality. To become 
immortal we must have something to our credit that 
will insure us of immortality. That something must 
be spirit and that spirit cannot be created by people 
of evil. Hence we should be persons of principle, for 
without principle yon cannot create spirit. Principle 
supports and sustains spirit. When we spurn evil 



— 4S— 

thoughts, evil in people and proclaim against evil, then 
are we acting from motives of principle and our mo- 
tives are called spiritual. Thus we become spiritual 
beings and by our thoughts we become creators of 
spirit. Surely thoughts are things. 

Every human being has twelve faculties in the brain 
that correspond to the twelve Divine Virtues. When 
we support and love Justice, that faculty is enlarged 
and developed. Now, when we proclaim and advocate 
Justice, then our thoughts are addressed to that facul- 
ty and we become creators of virtue. The most sub- 
lime part of our thought is in the semblance of a sub- 
stance and that is Virtue. Bear in mind Virtue is more 
than spirit. When you support and sustain and main- 
tain Justice, you show your wisdom. You can create 
spirit through any of the faculties by supporting the 
right and opposing the wrong. This you can do by 
the knowledge you possess, but you must show wisdom 
to create Virtue. Love goes with spirit. Passion goes 
with and belongs to evil.

LESSON" XIII. 

By this time my beloved children we have made the 
astonishing discovery that there are two kinds of life 
upon our planet, spiritual beings and evil beings. 
Spirit was first provided by the messengers. To this 
spirit the messengers added principles. Those prin- 
ciples had to be procured from somewhere, for with- 
out principles life could not be started or created. 
Thus, spirit life was the result and the messengers of 
Justice the creators; and it was good. The first life 
placed upon the planet was the vegetable kingdom; 
the second was the bird; the third was the animal; the 
fourth was the fish and the fifth was woman. All of 
this life was started by the messengers who built this 
little globe of ours. And all of that life was started 
and created out of the same kind of spirit. Eemem- 
ber, I told you that spirit was all alike. If you take 
all the water on our earth and extract the salts and 
minerals your water would all be alike. It would be 
pure, like rainwater. Water in the form of vapor as- 
cends in the air. This ascending of vapor is the work 
of one grade of electricity, and where there is no evil 
this ascending is pure and perfect. Not one particle 
of the mineral kingdom ever interferes or intrudes. 
Thus, rainwater is pure. It is in no way contaminated. 
Spirit can be likened to water. However, water is not 
life. The home of water is in the lap of matter — 



—52— 

the earth. The home of spirit is in the atmosphere, 
from whence it is called forth when required for the 
propagation of the life of the vegetable kingdom. 

When evil men place evil in the air by their thoughts 
and deeds, then the spirit in the air becomes contami- 
nated just as water will by coining in contact with filth 
from a sewer drain. Spirit is very subtle. She is all 
feminine. She does not possess one particle of knowl- 
edge. In fact, knows not airything. She is suscepti- 
ble to intelligence, knowledge and wisdom. She is 
a problem that challenges our admiration and calls 
forth our grandest and sublimest efforts. Spirit creat- 
ing spirit by thoughts passing through our faculties. 
Those faculties are grown out of the very best ma- 
terial — the purest food we eat. To eat the purest of 
food and think the noblest thoughts will make grand 
women and men out of every child who practices Jus- 
tice or who is given the opportunity to do so. If we 
are just, then are we spiritual beings. Thus you will 
understand the proposition of spirit creating spirit. 
We are spirits; spirit borne into material bodies. Do 
you get the idea? Xow children, I want } r ou to under- 
stand this proposition, so you will understand the dif- 
ference between spirit and evil. An evil thought is 
the result of evil, and when it passes through, the fac- 
ulties it is only a semblance of spirit. It goes out un- 
accompanied by principle, and is coarse, consisting only 
of rarified matter and hence does not contain either 
spirit or principle. Our air contains more of this evil 
than spirit, because five-sixths of the race are given to 
evil thinking and doing. Your brain is to you just 
what a mill is to the one who owns it. Your faculties 



—53— 

are the machinery, and the machinery will turn out 
just what you give it to grind or place in the hopper. 
This matter passing through our faculties is almost 
unexplainable. I have not the proper word to give 
you. Spiritually 'you can readily comprehend how it 
is. The machinery of your brain (the faculties) is 
grown, or in other words, the spirit principles are the 
builders and constructors. The principles of matter 
aid, to some extent, in the furnishing of material. 
Xow, that is the process. But as we grow to maturity 
should we be forced or of our own volition practice 
evil, then little by little the principles of spirit have 
less and less to do and the matter principles take the 
place and evil is produced instead of spirit. All this 
evil is due to beastly, ignorant men groveling after 
matter. 

To the messengers are we indebted for life, aye, 
for every good and beautiful thing on our globe. Yes, 
and to beastly men are we indebted for every viper, 
pest, vermin and all that is vulgar, licentious and re- 
pulsive. Those messengers are the children of Justice. 
This planet and its contents belong to them. Evil 
only is the property of man and evil men have no just 
right to traffic in anythig else. Evil women have been 
made so by more beastly men. When woman was 
placed in subjection to man by the pernicious priests, 
then femininity was no longer at liberty to act out 
her freedom, and as the beastly venom of man was 
more and more impigned upon her she began to bring 
forth more and more like her cruel oppressor, and at 
last women began to look and act like men. In a word 
they became masculinized with evil. They lost their 



—54— 

beauty, their virtue and their freedom. Women are 
like steam engines that have no governors — their in- 
tuition, seership and wisdom have departed. They 
have been despoiled of their birth rights oy ignoble and 
licentious men and now, poverty stricken, they stand 
at the very threshold of eternity, unprepared for a sec- 
ond birth and do not know of that Divinity after whom 
they have been fashioned. Spirit and femininity 
never created discord. Spirit is beautiful and when 
once created remains forever. "Tis a joy unspeakable 
— a glory that is yours throughout all coming time. 
But on the other hand, if your creations have been 
evil, then you will be a thing of evil. Your posses- 
sions will be the product of your thinking and acting 
while you inhabited your clay house. You will not 
possess one item that gives immortality! You will be 
a veritable beggar, standing like the thing you have 
made of yourself — a loathesome being amid your idols 
of matter. Children, I am giving you sublime truths 
and I want you to remember them and live round, 
beautiful lives. Spirit will carry you to Avhere the birds 
sing, animals frisk and play and children are bright 
and happy and where the gluttons and monsters of 
earth cannot enter. 

I will not deceive you, my children; I am not mis- 
leading you. I Avould not write you one falsehood. 
Let others say what they will, follow me and you will 
be born upon the spiritual plane of the spirit world a 
joyous and happy being. I love children and I would 
have them become immortal and live forever. Yes, 
partaking of all that is sublime in that wonderful 
eternity, where a Divine Mother's loving hand will rti- 



—55— 

rect and Her love lead to eljsian fields of bliss such as 
mortals cannot imagine, neither the wisest of the chil- 
dren of women picture. The rubbish created by evil 
men will have passed away as a mirage to be seen no 
more forever. The light of eternity will illumine your 
path. Your hopes will be realized for a Divine Moth- 
er's love will fill every aspiration and that Mother's 
smile be your guiding star through countless ages to 
come.

Parents and teachers should make themselves fa- 
miliar with this lesson, so as to be able to impart the 
truths and facts contained therein. Children have a 
right to the truth and I am giving it in these lessons. 
I understand my subject and I am giving a synopsis 
of years of study under the ablest of teachers. Teach 
and train the children and lead them by precept and 
example. Select your company and mingle only with 



people as your business requires. Be just, temperate 
and prudent, resist evil with all the will at your com- 
mand and discard your Bibles, gods and religion and 
make a way for Justice and Truth and you will find wil- 
ling teachers to guide your weary footsteps?

LESSON" XIV. 

In our last lesson I told you that the messengers 
had given of their own spirit to start life upon this 
planet. I have also told you how we can create spirit. 
Thus far we have learned two very important propo- 
sitions — the creating of spirit and the making of evil. 
I hope, my dear children, you will never he guilty of 
stooping so low in the scale of being as to create evil. 
In your everyday life you see the terrible effects of 
evil and now that you know the end of evil is death, 
you will aspire to create that which is immortal and 
secure for yourselves the boon of immortality? Prin- 
ciples we cannot create, but we can extend, cultivate 
and practice principle. There are three great divis- 
ions of principles. The first are the principles that go 
with matter; the second are the spirit principles; 
that is, those that go with, lead, sustain and 
support spirit. The first grade possesses intel- 
ligence, the second possesses knowledge, and the 
third grade possesses wisdom. Those are the more 
numerous. 

The third great order of principles are the prin- 
ciples of eternity. Of these we will have something 
to say farther on, for just now we have to do with 
the principles of spirit. How came those messengers 
in possession of those beautiful principles? That is 
the question. Principles must be procured ere life 



—60— 

could be given a start and then the support which is 
requisite and necessary. 

In placing life upon a planet we are dealing with a 
great enterprise, my children. This is an undertaking 
of magnitude and it is a work that requires Wisdom. 
Knowledge can build so ordinary thing as a railway, 
or proclaim some delusion such as religion, evolution, 
Christian science, theosophy, mental science, etc., etc., 
where sophistry is about all that is required, but spirit 
is very subtle and requires scientific lore — Wisdom, my 
children. The handling of spirit must be done scien- 
tifically and not religiously. We sec what religion and 
the priests have done here and we should not permit 
anv intrusion from them. 




Do you recollect where the principles of matter were 
procured ? This figure represents a solar sphere. The 
four dots in the center of each quarter represent the 
four storehouses of matter. The two dots on the line 
running up and down represent the two storehouses of 
principles. The one being the house for the matter 
principles, the other is where the spirit principles and 
.many designs of life are kept, and it was from this 
storehouse that the principles of spirit were procured 
and every design and form of variety and kind were 
procured by the messengers. This storehouse is much 
larger than the one dedicated to the principles of mat- 
ter and there is but one in each sphere. Life cannot 
be started anywhere in the sphere without applying at 



—61— 

this store where the principles and designs are kept. 
The principles of spirit are not spirit. They belong- 
to onr Divine Mother, as also the edifice in which they 
are kept. Women are always to be found in charge. 
To preside over so immense a building and be compe- 
tent to direct and teach requires no ordinary mind. 
The woman in charge of our storehouse of spirit prin- 
ciples has been to see us many times and I have receiv- 
ed a course of instructions that are and have been of 
great assistance to me. This grand woman is so ma- 
ternal that we call her by the tender name of mother. 
When she lived in her material body, as we are now, 
she was not a mother. She was a teacher of spiritual 
science, yet most of her time was given to teaching 
the young and as an instructor she had no equal. This 
wise and lovely woman has been an inhabitant of the 
spirit world more than fifty billion of our years. This 
is more time than you are able to grasp, but recollect 
we are talking about and dealing with that which be- 
longs to eternity. Yes, a most wondrous and beautiful 
theme. When time is united to eternity we are dealing 
with that which knows not a beginning. Religion is 
only narrow — spiritualism has no bounds. Forever and 
eternity arc inscribed over the entrance to her temples. 
When people who call themselves spiritualists and talk 
religion and Hi hie. you can tell them that is not spir- 
itualism. Spiritual science is taught in this great 
storehouse and quite likely sometime you will go to 
school there, and when you have progressed you will 
be able to as-i>t in waiting upon those who come there 
to procure supplies for the purposes of life. You will 
find children, birds and animals in that immense in- 



—62— 

M nation. Animals and birds progress the same as 
children. Progression is the password.

LESSON XV. 

The designs for the various kinds of life and the 
principles for the support of life are all kept in the 
storehouse of spirit principles. Those are the only 
places where they can he procured and we must be in 
good standing with Justice or Her messengers will not 
accommodate us, and we could not build a system and 
place life upon the planets. By this time, my children, 
wc have learned some most important facts. Facts 
that neither you nor your parents and teachers knew 
of before. The facts I will especially refer to are : First 
— the spirit provided for the life of this planet be- 
longs to messengers of Justice; and again, you now 
know that those principles belong to our Divine 
Mother. And also, that those principles are builders 
and possess more wisdom than the people who live 
upon this planet. Had we as a people been civilized, 
we would have become acquainted with those beautiful 
truths with the advent of that civilization, but our 
people arc not civilized. They are groveling in the 
filth and debris of matter. 

T want you who read these lines to elevate your- 
selves and at least become civilized, if not enlightened. 
We can only become a civilized people by becoming a 
people of principle. Until this takes place you 
will not have attained to that standard called civilized, 
and neither can vou be born at vour second birth 



—65— 

upon the spiritual plane of the spirit world. Those 
are facts and I want you to know it. I told you that 
the messengers had given of their own spirit. That 
spirit belongs to them and they only are responsible 
to themselves; but all who partake of that spirit prod- 
uct become debtors to those messengers. Now, it is 
expected of us to return an equivalent. At least we 
should show a little gratitude. But a people without 
principle have no gratitude. And where gratitude is 
wanting in a people we find no civilization. How 
many of the priests of religion, medicine and law do 
you find or know who possess one grain of gratitude 
or one particle of principle. Place your cap and con- 
sider those statements and know that T am giving you 
much food for thought. Evil is the product and ef- 
fect of religion. Religion never reflects. Religion is 
not founded upon principles, hence there is no grati- 
tude, and there can be no civilization. There is a 
great debt hanging over the people of our planet and 
it will have to be canceled. 

By our evil thoughts and deeds we enslave spirit 
and make her aid in the support of evil. Those prin- 
ciples will work with whatever is provided — spirit or 
evil. There is no partiality. You are at liberty to 
think as you please, to provide for them just what 
you please. Xo one can see your thoughts. They are 
your own property. Xo one can rob you of them. 
Wherefore if your thoughts are evil you are responsi- 
ble. But if you are forced to do an evil act by those 
in power, whether they be priests, rulers, parents or 
whomsoever, then the debt belongs to them and not 
you — whoever rules in favor of law against Justice. 



—66— 

It had been better if such person had never been born. 
Such debts must be settled and Justice will see to it 
that they are. Justice acts for our Divine Mother. We 
cannot misuse principle and go free. Trample upon 
principles here and you will not have their support 
and aid after your second birth. We cannot progress 
without principle. The bird cannot fly without wings. 
Every evil thought and deed must be replaced by spir- 
it and principle — wherever and whenever you owe it 
to others. 

Most children are born without evil, not because 
their parents are not evil; no, but because the spirit 
principles have drawn spirit from the air. Those chil- 
dren would grow up spiritual women and men if they 
were not falsely taught, mislead, lied to and deceived. 
Their little craniums are crammed with the polluting 
virus of religion and its creeds. If the priest of relig- 
ion fails to cage those tender flowers, the priests of 
medicine and law stand ready, like sharks, to do their 
dirty work. The highway of policy is strewn with 
the tiny carcases that once contained pure, innocent 
life. 

How many children are forced to degrade and be- 
mean themselves by idolizing and worshipping priests 
and their gods? In this way they evolute, retrograde 
from pure little innocent children, and instead of 
growing and acquiring spirit they are infused with evil 
and in consequence cannot be born upon the spirit 
plane at their transition, which is the second birth. 
This is sad to contemplate. It is the truth and can- 
not be denied. Our own mothers are slaves one way 
or another. They have been kept ignorant of- the 



—67— 

truth, and yet, but few of them know that something 
is woefully wrong. As babes we are the property of 
our mothers. We belong to them. They gave us our 
little bodies — our life is of their life. That little spirit 
was born of her spirit, while at the same time her Di- 
vine Mother furnished the soul. Who should have the 
truth if not our mothers and their children? I ask, 
Who ? 

Children, I am giving you the guide to immortality 
and I wish to touch upon every point so you cannot 
be deceived or misled. Keep your eyes and ears open 
and use your reason. Think often of your Divine 
Mother and spurn from you the idea of prayer and a 
man-made god. Our Divine Mother refuses prayer. 
She asks for Virtue and your love. Talk to that Di- 
vine Mother as you would to your little baby sister. 

If your earth mother is a devoted and loving mother 
she will not command you to fall down and worship 
her when you want a piece of bread to still your hun- 
ger. She will not require you to supplicate for a drink 
when you are thirsty. Will she? Prayer from her 
child would be repulsive in the home of Love. Passion 
seeks for praise. Passion is the opposite of Love. Evil 
people are dominated by passion, for evil knows not 
Love. Love leads with smiles and joy. Love is Virtue 
personified in a Divine Mother.

LESSON XVI. 

In the preceding lessons we have learned a few 
things that we did not know before. We have learned 
that the principles and designs for life were procured 
at the storehouse of spirit principles. The number of 
those principles and designs runs into the quadril- 
lions. The vegetable kingdom alone contains designs 
and combinations so numerous that we are startled 
and amazed. Of the great variety we have but, a very 
few here upon our earth. This storehouse of spirit 
principles opens up an immense field for the lovers of 
science. Here, like in the storehouse of principles 
of matter, study is coupled to work. AVe are taught to 
unite and combine and as far as we go we perfect our- 
selves. We are correctly taught. Our parents and 
teachers should do the same here and not falsify and 
deceive. Tt is idle to waste time in hoarding wealth 
and teaching and § practicing religion. This you now 
know and you also know that both are evil. Hence I 
ask you to study spiritual science. Whatever you loam 
of spiritual science here will be of help to you over 
there. The messengers must know something of 
science or they could not construct a planet and place 
life upon it. 

.Most all of the instructions given in our so-called 
high grade schools are only so much trash. Children 
-lion Id be taught reading, writing, grammar and arith- 



—71— 

metic. Then will they be prepared for the study of 
spiritual science. I told you what composed a duality. 
The vegetable kingdom is a duality, consisting of 
spirit and matter and the principles that accompany 
them. Those principles (a certain grade) and the mat- 
ter and spirit that supplies the vegetable kingdom, 
reside in the air. That is, the air is a kind of reser- 
voir for most all — a little can be found in the water. 
It is of great importance to us to keep that atmos- 
phere pure and untainted, and we should not permit 
one evil thought to escape us and go into that air. 
Evil thoughts going into that air, are to that air just 
what filth would be to the spring from which we pro- 
cure our drinking water. Do you' get the idea ? The 
atmosphere is many times more subtle than water and 
an evil thought is just as filthy, aye, more so, than the 
filth from a sewer or drain. Water can and does puri- 
fy itself, but our air cannot get rid of that evil thought 
only by precipitating it to the earth. Here it grows into 
all manner and kinds of evil vegetation and other evil 
life, all of which are dual. 

All evil life is most tenacious. Xo doubt you have 
heard it said that the cat had nine lives. Why? Be- 
cause the cat is an evil creation and hence a beast, and 
should not be permitted in the home. 

By placing evil in the atmosphere, we deplete the 
supply of spirit and help create evils that destroy all 
that is of use and beauty. 

You eat your fill of the products of the vegetable 
kingdom without furnishing one particle of spirit to 
give that product. Those evils destroy our crops, 
fruits, berries, etc., and make it most difficult for us 



to raise what is required without a great amount of 
extra labor. If we are creators of evil, then we are 
only entitled to that which we create. We have no 
just right to anything that is good for we are the ene- 
mies of all that sustains and supports life. The people 
who do not aid in providing for spirit life are purloin- 
ers, robbers, and they will be brought to account by 
Justice and Her messengers. 

Evil cannot unite with spirit in growing the vegeta- 
ble kingdom, because the principles refuse or cast 
them oft'. But the evils attack all of such growth from 
without. ' Those evils come as active, moving life and 
bite, sting, devour and lay their larva or eggs 
that produce their kind. It is in this way 
that evil is most dangerous and grievous to 
dual life. Evil men who monopolize vegeta- 
ble life and speculate upon it are thieves. They 
are handling and collecting revenue upon that to 
which they have no right. Evil people have only a 
right to the evil things created. That which we cre- 
ate, aid and support is for us. But evil never respects 
the rights of others. Religion has no shame. Born in 
iniquity and supported by falsehoods it preys upon the 
toil of others and then prays to its god whose name 
i- mammon. This avarice, idolatry, etc., it transmits 
to every evil thing it aids in creating and supporting. 
Evil life will feed on evil life, just as evil people will 
rob each other, or anyone else. The things created 
savor of their creator and supporters.

NOTE. 

The teacher can so word the questions (by adding 
to them) that the child will be greatly aided in remem- 
bering. Never frustrate a child by trying to puzzle 
it. Be a guide, point out the way and make all things 
clear. To muddle a child's little brain is as unreas- 
onable as it would be to throw a spadeful of dirt into 
your drinking water and expect it to be just as palat- 
able afterwards as before. Cultivate sense; we have 
all been practicing folly long enough. Show your 
horse sense and not your pusilanimity. 



LESSOX XYIL 

In this lesson I wish to say something about birds. 
Children should love birds. In fact, all good children do, 
also grown people. I would advise you not to associate 
too freely with those who have no love for birds and 
lowers. The bird is a problem not generally under- 
stood and yet it is easy of solution. It is because of 
ignorance that the bird is not known and appreciated. 
The birds placed upon our planet were all of the triune 
order, except a very few. Those were scavengers and. 
all but the buzzard were water fowl — such only were of 
dual construction, and they were not evil. They are 
harmless and feed upon dead fish, etc. 

However, as religion advanced and supplanted virtue, 
evil bird life began to appear. Hawks, eagles, butcher 
birds, magpies, etc., came and increased with great rap- 
idity. The English sparrow is a bird of evil. These 
birds of evil can easily be detected. They prey upon 
other birds — eat their Qg^ and young, destroy their 
nests and often take possession of those nests. So 
small a bird as the English sparrow will drive away the 
birds of use and beauty and occupy their nests. The 
sparrow is similar to the mouse. They will live around 
a building and steal at every opportunity. They never 
feed on bugs and worms as other birds. They will de- 
stroy a garden by eating the bloom and afterwards 
the seed. Such is the English sparrow, one of the 



most evil of all small boasts. Those evil, beastly look- 
ing birds, should be destroyed at every opportunity. 
All birds of use and beauty are a trinity. The linnet, 
canary, chicken, dove, pigeon, robin, etc., I cannot give 
their names, but by a little observation anyone can 
detect an evil bird and easily learn to know those that 
are of value. Xo one need be ignorant of the facts. 
The birds of use and beauty are continually sought 
after by evil, beastly men and boys and s^metknes 
women. They seek them for their flesh and plumage. 
They destroy those innocent and beautiful companions 
of ours and leave the things of evil to go on propa- 
gating. Many of those goodly birds were given us 
after evil life began to attack our orchards and gar- 
dens. But people are ignorant and do not know this 
and then many people are too evil to care to know. 
Religion never, solved a problem, wherefore we cannot 
expect it of its progeny. All beasts of evil are like their 
creators and supporters. 

The priests of religion, law and medicine prefer that 
others should toil and it is those priests who have se- 
lected the few and conferred upon them what they call 
the divine right to rule. But you will observe it is 
not a just right for it always takes chicaner}', theft. 
murder and police or soldiers to sustain those appoint- 
ed and annointed. Their's is passion, and they hate 
Virtue, spirit, sublimity and all that is good and chaste. 
Their theme is blood. Their food is flesh and 
blood. They teach the bloody atonement, and 
then with a brazen face equal only to that of 
a veritable demon they make their dupes believe 
they are eating of the ilesh and drinking of the blood 



—77— 

of a human being, whom they say was the son of the 
God of the Jews. Children, stop and consider this hor- 
rible delusion. My dear children, it has been the 
priests who have taught the people to kill and eat our 
birds and animals. I have seen boys so evil that they 
took delight in cutting off the wings of a beautiful red 
bird. How comes such evil? 

I have told you that there are three kinds of priests. 
They form the tripod that makes evil so flagrant, 
brazen and successful. They are the fathers of false- 
hood and their success is due to hypocrisy and deceit. 
The tyrants of the earth depend upon those priests. 
For the tyrant could not rule nor remain in power but 
for- those villians. They are at work for tyranny in all 
the corners, the little nooks and places wherever they 
think they can deceive and mislead the ignorant pub- 
lic. 

Children, if you have no respect for each other or 
yourselves, do try and have a little for the poor birds. 
Those birds have souls. They will live and progress 
when your priests and tyrants, your cruel men and 
boys will be no more. Eternity has a place for birds 
and animals as well as for womankind. It is only ig- 
norant people who deny my teaching, people who are 
saturated with the virus of religion, whose blood is 
cold and chill to the thought of Justice, Mercy, Truth 
and Love. It is a sad spectacle to see parents leading 
their little ones into the very dens of evil, aye, the 
jaws of death. ? Tis sad, children being led to their 
doom by those who should guard and protect them. 
Priestcraft and its dupes can always be detected, you 
can always know Ihem bv old numbers, old tricks, lack 



—78— 

of principle, lack of virtue, cruelty, fanaticism, passion 
for religious relics, ignorance, superstition, tithing., 
something for nothing; a Joseph's coat of many colors 
that all must respect or else be denied the right to life, 
liberty ami the pursuit of happiness. - 

Birds and animals have just as much right to life, 
liberty and the pursuit of happiness as you and I. 
When we deprive them of life and sell their plumage 
and their flesh we are committing a crime that will 
come- up before us in that life beyond the grave and 
condemn us for our cruelty and shame us until we 
seek the gloom of oblivion. 

To eat the flesh of those innocent animals and birds 
that have souls, and who are as immortal as any of 
us — think of it ! They will rise up and condemn us 
for our evil acts, our cruel deeds and our lack of sym- 
pathy — our want of spirituality and virtue. Cease 
practicing idolatry and then you will stop being a can- 
nibal. Shame to cruel, beastly men and vain women! 
0, shame! Weighed in the balance and found want- 
ing will be the final summing up of the great majority 
of the people of this planet. I see the dark and dismal 
cloud that hangs over the people of this earth — its 
name is retribution.

LESSON XVIII. 

So far we have learned that the vegetable kingdom 
is a dual and that the bird is made up in part of both 
trinity and a duality. After the bird comes the ani- 
mal. The animal is a triune combination. There 
were no animals placed upon this planet with a dual 
structure. All animals were of more or less use. The 
elephant, mastodon, camel and horse were of great 
service. In fact, they were almost indispensible. 
The}' were a reasonable family and could be taught 
almost everything that could be taught to a child ex- 
cept talking. They aided in clearing the land and 
planting crops. The elephant and mastodon and the 
flying dragon were used in transporting whatever was 
to be transported. The lion was another most service- 
able animal. Her duties were similar to that of our 
dog. All of those animals were as docile and harmless 
as babes, for they knew not of evil. They were not in 
the least contaminated. You] all know how useful are 
cows, sheep, goats, etc., etc. As man became more 
evil and the air became more and more loaded with 
the evil thoughts and perfidious deeds of men, and all 
of those noble animals began to fear man. By and by 
evil was imparted to those noble creatures. When man 
began to kill and eat the flesh of animals, then came 
the crisis. One of those grand animals could not be 
made to pas- by where a fellow creature had been 



—82— 

slain. Then men began to punish them and force them 
to do evil. They tried to teach them to aid in running 
down their fellow creatures. The lion and the flying 
dragon were the first to break away from man's 
tyranny. 

Many animals are now extinct, but, my children, you 
will have the opportunity to see every kind of animal 
and bird that ever inhabited our little globe provided 
you practice the truths taught in this little book. Bear 
in mind evil had its source and rise in man. It 
could come from nowhere else. Many animals were 
given as playmates and companions to children. There 
was not anything wanting to make children happy and 
contented. They were ever joyous and smiling, for evil 
was not among them. Now all is changed. The ani- 
mals and birds fear man and depart at his approach. 
Men became murderous and cannibals. We have now 
a dual creation that in variety outnumbers the origi- 
nal triune families. This evil dual creation, born of 
the imbecility and perfidy of man, is not noticed — no 
difference is perceptible to those material educators 
and educated, those magpies of knowledge. Some are 
called scientists, reverends, fathers, professors and L. 
L. D., M. D. and various other names and titles, all 
of whom pretend to know all about those creations and 
yet no two of them agree. They will proclaim a theory 
and pronounce it a truth; which is deception and hence 
they are falsifiers. Some will tell you that all of this 
evil is necessary. That out of this evil good is evolved. 
As though a serpent would eventually become a sweet 
little canary and be a joy forever. 

Yes, in order to have grapes, flowers, fruits, berries 



and grains we must first have evil vegetation. Some 
teachers will tell you to pray and to thank something 
they call God for your miserable condition. All of 
which is imbecile, narrow, flagrant, ignorant nothing- 
ness. A dual ruling: possessed only of intelligence, 
not even a little knowledge. Just think — ail of this 
evil evolving, forever existing in an evolutionary stage, 
and after an eternity the two most evil things are 
evolved. Man and his God. Yes, people will tell you 
those posers are wise. It is pitiful, my children, to see 
millions of people wallowing in this filth of ignorance, 
superstition and fanaticism. Children, I am trying to 
instruct you so yon will be able to evade the snares 
that have been set for you by a licentious triumvirate. 
I am pointing out the way that leads to immortality, 
and if you will heed my teaching you will receive the 
reward that is life forever more. 

You have no doubt been taught that God means or is 
spirit. In other words. God consists of matter and 
spirit. He is, therefore, according to the understand- 
ing we have of theology, a duality. I have taught you 
that a duality is not immortal and I have also taught 
you that most all active, moving dualities are evil, and 
again that a thing of evil can only live so long as it 
retains a little spirit. Xow, if those religious teach- 
ers had known what life was and is, they might have 
shaped their God a little different. But as it stands, 
we discover the fact that instead of a God creating man, 
man has created or evolved a God. Plainly putting it 
— priests created God. This, my children, is the sum 
and matter of the whole affair. 

Children are very much like little birds and animals 



—84— 

that have no one to extenuate for them — no shepherd. 
They are always subject to the wolves and other beasts. 
Children, I am your friend; a shepherd, if you please 
to call me such. I am not seeking for your pennies, 
I have no missionaries hired to attend to other people's 
affairs and private business, no Peter's pence for a 
crowned pontiff to collect; no children, I want you to 
be happy and free, here and now and hereafter. 

I will not rob you of one birthright. I would teach 
you to p.ossess the same spirit, the same virtues and the 
same liberties that I possess; yea, and I would do more 
if I could. 

Man has fenced woman and her children in a bleak, 
arid desert. The fence is called law. By force they 
are kept there to do the dirty work for knaves and 
lrypocrites. Poor woman, poor child, I extend to you 
the hand of a brother, the paternal feeling of a father. 
Smile through your tears and ask for a Divine Moth- 
er's Love, smile and blessing to be with you. Over yon- 
der you shall be free.

NOTE. 

Teachers are requested to make themselves familiar 
with the points made in each lesson and to draw the 
child's attention to them. There are hut two sides 
to this question — virtue and evil. I am cham- 
pioning virtue, and I have shown thus far how unreas- 
onable and unscientific are the claims of my opponents. 
Teach, the young correctly and you need not fear for 
them in after years. I am striking a blow at the root 
of evil, and if I am properly supported, child slavery 
will be wiped out in America. This is part of the mis- 
sion of spiritualism.

LESSON XIX. 

I will start this lesson with what you Plight tail a 
curious fact. A fact with which no one has wer been 
familiar, or if they have they have preferred to be si- 
lent. Swine have ngaired in our so-called civilization 
quite prominently. In some sections of our country 
they are a necessity. They are neither animal nor 
beast, but I will class them with the animal. They 
were placed upon the planet by the messengers after 
the earth had been changed and the poles reversed. 
They were given to take the place of animals and birds 
eand oil bearing nuts and other oil bearing vegetation, 
with those people who had become flesh eaters and 
who continued to kill and eat of the trinne creation. 
The messengers believed the people would hearken and 
no longer commit those terrible crimes. When swine 
were introduced the people were told by a seer why 
they had been placed here and this seer admonished 
the people and requested of them to no longer practice 
evil, but to hearken to the advice as given by the mes- 
sengers. The people as a rule were inclined to follow 
this advice, but the priests stirred them up and de- 
nounced the teachings and advice of the seer. They 
proclaimed that their God had given them dominion 
over all things upon the earth and further, they would 
put to death anyone who would teach differently. The 
priests, as leaders, set out in many places at the head 



—88— 

oi' their follower.- and they put to death every medium 
upon whom they could lay hands. The seer with her 
family escaped to the mountains. The priests contin- 
ued to teach the people that if they grew hungry, to 
kill and' eat, for their God had so commanded. In 
some few places the priests had no power and there the 
people hegan the growing of swine and ceased the 
slaying of animals and birds. 

Swine are a dual creation and a most curious and 
complex combination of matter, spirit and principles. 
Their make-up partakes of the principles mostly that 
are used in growing nuts, olives and the like — oil pro- 
ducing vegetation. Then again, there are a few prin- 
ciples that can be found in some fish, such as the black 
sucker, mullet and cat fish. But very little spirit is 
required for the growing of swine. Swine are led, ma- 
nipulated and directed by principles. They are the 
oddest and most curious of all dual creations. They 
are a study worthy the attention of our scientists and 
especially the poor excuses we have among us. 

The matter principles used in the swine construction 
are a blending of the instinct with the intelligent prin- 
ciples and then a unification with knowledge that is 
derived from spirit principles. It is a most intricate 
study, but children, I am trying to lead you to see and 
understand without using the terms and words as gen- 
erally applied and used by the so-called scientists. It 
is for you I am writing these lessons and I want you to 
understand me. All of the subjects treated of in my 
lessons should be made familiar to you. You cannot 
read and study these lessons too much. 

This subject of swine you may not fully comprehend 



—so— 

now. but by and by, as yon progress, yon will gather 
wisdom. I am giving considerable space to this swine 
question, because people do not know anything about 
swine and they couple them with all other life, just as 
they do the beast creation: not knowing the difference 
between good and evil. I do not want you, my chil- 
dren, to give up and be as ignorant as most of the so- 
called educated are. They know not the origin or 
creation of swine, neither why the swine were placed 
here, neither for what purpose. 

When swine are properly bred, cared for and reared 
and fed they produce lard and meat that takes the place 
of the now extinct oil bearing trees and nuts that they 
produced. 

But few people know how to care for swine and 
hence do not know how to produce good lard and 
meat. Meat is not flesh. The meat of shell fish and 
a very few others, and the meat of swine is the only 
meats that we should eat. Swine meat can be made 
just what is wanted. Men are greater hogs than the 
swine that they compel to be hogs. A cleanly owner of 
swine will have no hogs. 

I presume, children, you know that every truth and 
fact that we undertake to teach and present to the 
world the same is always opposed by ignorant people, 
and generally those opposers are of the orders of 
priestcraft. The faculty of memory is probably the 
only one of all the faculties that they care to culti- 
vate. We might liken such people to phonographs. 
They are repeaters. That is, they spin out that which 
hss been given them by others. They are always re- 
ferring to back numbers. Originality is no part of 



—90— 

them. They seem only to be possessed of a little mem- 
ory and this they do not use to any good purpose. They 
are a kind of walking machine; never use reason and 
deprecate it in others. To start those machines, tickle 
their vanity or present a truth and they are ready. 
Wind up your phonograph and it will do the same.

LESSON XX. 

Our last lesson was devoted to a separate and distinct 
creation and in the singular number. We will now 
take up with a plural, the fish. They followed the an- 
imals and there were a great many kinds. Most all of 
the more beautiful have disappeared. The fish were 
all of dual construction. Why this was the case I have 
never enquired of the messengers, hence cannot give 
the reason. I have seen and talked with fish who were 
triune (Otherwise they could not have come here). 
They came here as visitors from an adjoining system. 
My guide and teacher had them pay us a visit, and it 
has and always will be a pleasant memory. The mer- 
maid is not with us, but, the mermaid is not altogether 
a fiction. She has an existence as real as you and I. 
Yonder among the countless suns and planets, where 
the mermaid has a home and is one of the living, I 
know it will surprise you to be told those truths and 
facts, but, my children, we are very ignorant here upon 
our planet and you will so find when you have been in 
the spirit world long enough to find it out. Truth 
comes to us in problems. She never comes in any other 
way. Priestcraft never solves problems. They never 
use reason. They are sophists and have no regard for 
truth. They can couple a Jonah to a whale's stom- 
ach for three days and nights and declare it to be a 
fact, because it is so very irrational and belongs to a 



—93— 

god-myth. Xo doubt many of those priests would burn 
this book and banish the author or torture him, but 
they can do neither. The time -has come for Justice 
and Truth to have a hearing and I am one who is record- 
ing a little. It is well that the fish placed in our waters 
were of dual construction, instead of being trinities. 
The suffering among those fish would have been greater 
perhaps than the terrible sufferings to which birds and 
animals have been subject, and so I say it is well. The 
number of beast life now in our water is tremendous. 
From the eel to the shark and from the water snake 
to the devil fish there are evils in the water too numer- 
ous to write about in this small book. There were fish 
placed in our waters that were so beautiful tney were 
wonderful to look upon, but they have passed away, 
as is everything of beauty and also of utility passing. 
The whale family had their place. They were a curios- 
ity. They were as harmless as a flock of sheep and 
seamen often had them for pets. Bear in mind, chil- 
dren, that spirit never does wrong, never' commits an 
outrage, never interferes with the liberties of others, 
never commits a crime of any kind. It is the individ- 
ualized matter that is in power when crime or other 
wrong is committed, and it matters not whether it 
be man or his creation, the devil fish, that commits 
the wrong. The man should be placed in a cell and 
kept there the rest of his natural clays and the devil fish 
should be killed. 

Do not forget this truth. Thespiritnever commitsovert 
acts. When anyone does wrong they have grown evil. 
There is either jealousy, prejudice, vanity, avarice, li- 
centiousness or hate or some other evil. It cannot be 



—04— 

otherwise. Evil in some form or other is growing in 
that person's cranium instead of spirit. Avarice, one 
of the worst branches of evil, is always to be found with 
the capitalists of the world. Passion goes with avarice. 
They are without feeling. Their whole evil brain 
structure is becoming individualized matter. They are 
matter gormandizers. They care not for the misery 
their gluttony creates or entails. Evil has no shame. 
Modesty and chastity are unknown factors among the 
rulers of the earth. There is not anything sacred 
known to the people of evil, except their own, whether 
it be faith in some religious creed, in power or wealth. 
Evil only recognizes evil. Spirit and Virtue are spurned 
by evil people. Spirit being substance requires free- 
dom and to grow and acquire knowledge and wisdom 
must be associated with virtue. Spirit does not grow 
when surrounded by and with evil. Spirit only quick- 
ens when her associate, Virtue, accompanies her. 
When virtue is present so also is> principle. Spirit must 
receive her virtue; from the personality where she re- 
sides. That personality must also provide the support 
lor her. That support is principle. If a person is lack- 
ing in principle their tiny spirit has no support and in- 
stead of the faculties being under the control of spirit 
they are altogether at the service of evil. Evil works 
in and through those faculties, just the same as if the 
spirit was manipulating affairs. A person can bo so 
evil as not to possess one-thirtieth part of spirit in a 
brain where the total is one thousand. Thus you will 
perceive that the person would contain nine hundred 
and seventy parts of evil in a total of one thousand. 
Virtue derives he]' support from the principles of eter- 



—95— 

nity, and hence is beyond the grasp of evil. If we 
would be immortal we should spurn evil; never toy with 
nor harbor evil. Evil people are worse than the evil 
beasts they create and support. 

Mark: The thing created is not so great as its 
creator. Spirit when first created can be likened to a 
drop of water. It is beautiful — yet it stands alone 
awaiting support. It cannot think nor act — like a 
drop of water that can be converted into vapor and pass 
off into a million particles mingling with countless 
other particles, so with spirit, she passes into other 
spirit until the original particle is lost sight of. One 
particle of spirit will continue to divide until like the 
drop of water, it has associated with so many other par- 
ticles that her creator knows her not.

I hope teachers will be able to grasp the truths con-

Things. If you- will follow the instructions as laid 
down in this book and are a medium you can call for 
witnesses from the spiritual and ascertain for your- 
selves whether I am giving facts. We have had enough 
religious materialism. What is now wanted of our 
mediums is Spirituality.

LESSON XXI. 

In our first or previous lessons we have treated of 
the first four kingdoms of life — the vegetable, bird, 
animal and fish kingdoms. Each of those kingdoms 
are separate and distinct one from the other. I have 
given them in their mathematical order. The vegeta- 
ble never evolutes into the bird. A vegetable is a 
vegetable and never becomes a bird. To a spiritual 
scientist the theory of evolution is most silly and fool- 
ish. Such folly would not be indulged in if the ad- 
vocates of such nonsense would but approach life from 
a spiritualist standpoint. To endeavor to solve the 
great problem of life from a material or religious 
standpoint is so much time wasted. Matter at its very 
best gives but intelligence. Now, if Ave would under- 
stand matter we must proceed spiritually, for here is 
where we first find knowledge — that is, knowledge be- 
gins with spirit. Matter cannot create matter but 
spirit can and does create spirit. Again evil is created 
by using our spiritual machinery for other purposes 
than that for which that machinery was intended. 
Our faculties are most beautifully arranged. There are 
three faculties proper that belong to the three Divine 
Arts. Then there is one faculty that belongs exclusively 
to science. This faculty has its spiritual affinities and 
they are quite numerous. Cruelty and brutality and 
beastliness b]unt the scientific faculty and destroy the 



—99 — 

spirit's supports. The viviseetionist is a beast and not 
a scientist — a magpie full of other peoples' theories 
and his own conceit. 

We first find knowledge as an accompaniment of 
spirit. Take the babe, cultivate train and gently lead 
it along spiritual paths, spurning evil at ever step, give 
it full liberty to carry out its own little ideas, and it 
will groy natural and in time not only create spirit but 
virtue also. This growing of virtue begins when the 
child advances spiritually and begins to acquire wis- 
dom. As the child progresses in virtue, so also is a 
little virtue created. - This virtue goes to the circle 
of Justice. The conductors and supports to that Vir- 
tue are the principles of eternity. Birds and animals 
are creators of spirit and virtue. Upon this planet 
they give more spirit and virtue than those human be- 
ings called men. Proportion and ratio goes with this 
statement. 

This brings us to the fifth propositon, which is 
womankind — scientifically not mankind. For mankind 
would be an evil proposition and therefore we do not 
propose to place him where he does not belong. Do 
not forget that this study of life is a wonderful and 
sublime pursuit, filled with exciting problems. To 
fully understand and comprehend, it will require of us 
to begin at the beginning, at the very foot of the lad- 
der, and to ascend or progress, step by step, round 
after round. We should examine ourselves and un- 
derstand our condition before we commence with so 
great and beautiful a problem. First we should have 
an aspiration for. and to learn, the truth. Second, we 
should have the fortitude and patience to pursue our 
LcfC. 



— 100— 

course and studies irrespective oi' what others might 
say or do. And, third, our object should be the spirit- 
ualizing of ourselves — to rid ourselves of all evil and 
live the life of a spiritual being, a triune being, a com- 
plete and perfect personality. A spiritual person is 
one who is just, temperate, prudent and aspiring. Be 
careful that you practice justice to yourself as well as 
toward others, for the practicing of virtue should al- 
ways begin at home. Again, the proper study of 
womankind is woman. In order to be better prepared 
for our progressive march, we will entertain ourselves 
for a while with nature and strengthen our position by 
building or adding to our foundation and make our- 
selves secure against the assaults of evil. The very 
first question that confronts us is this: What is na- 
ture ? This question has perplexed many people, and, 
though many claim to be educated and have a great 
deal to say about nature, yet in their writings and lec- 
tures they plainly reveal their ignorance of that beau- 
tiful problem. I have never received a satisfactory 
answer, even from some of the ablest declaimers, scien- 
tific, political, medical or religious. Do you know wny? 
I will tell you. It is because people are not acquainted 
with the problem of life. In my youth I asked many 
people, What is life? What is nature? All had differ- 
ent ideas; no two would agree. In fact, they were un- 
able to tell me. I asked the clergy and the doctors, 
because they posed before the people as teachers of 
life and the healers of the ills of life. I found them 
superficial, only soap bubbles, ignorant and unable to 
answer those quetsions of which the general public 
thought so little, aud yet with which those hypocrites 



— 101 — 

were expected to be familiar because of their great 
pretentions and much talk. The problem of life can- 
not be answered until we have made a careful study 
of nature. Thus the question arises : What is nature ? 
Nature is a duality. Of what does that duality consist? 
Answer : Matter and spirit. Nature to be harmonious 
and agreeable must be a duality. Not anything else 
belongs to the domain of nature except those prin- 
ciples of which I have taught you. The principles of 
matter infused into crude matter make matter service- 
able and the mineral kingdom is produced. Then fol- 
low the water and the air. Now we 
have the first part of nature, the foun- 
dation upon which the second depends. The first 
is necessary for the resting place and growth and sup- 
port of the second part of nature. That part is spirit. 
Spirit principles are in the possession of knowledge and 
wisdom. They are progressive. If we do not support 
those principles of wisdom and give them aid, in time 
they will depart from us — a few now and a few then, 
and by and by the lower order of principles only re- 
main and have all to do, and the result is a one sided 
condition. Then come the extremes. I will give you a 
hint. Some of those principles of matter arc a thous- 
and times more subtle than dynamite and ten thous- 
and times ten thousand more powerful. 
Those are the principles that produce 
earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. Thus, my chil- 
dren, you will begin to realize why we have up- 
heavals, plagues, etc., etc. When men interfere with 
nature, as they have done and are doing, upon our 
little globe, by their thoughts and rapacious deeds of 



—102— 

evil, the} 7 are hastening the sealing of their own doom 
and endangering the existence of all good and useful 
life as well as themselves and their evil creations. Evil 
is unnatural. Evil destroys harmony by changing the 
order that produces harmony and also destroys the 
system that supports and directs order. Order is 
above harmony. System is above order. System, order 
and harmony form the triangle that supports Justice 
in the affairs of nature upon a planet. The messengers 
left this planet in perfect harmony. They instructed 
the people what and how to do; but, there were men 
who had passion. Vanity and passion demand applause, 
obedience to command, service, worship. Men made 
their own laws and now you see the result. When you 
read or hear of cyclones, floods, pests and pestilence 
think of the cause, for these calamities are but the 
effects produced by evil and it is an easy affair to lo- 
cate the blame. The first and only cause for evil rests 
with and in man. God is power. Outside of power, 
oi that which gives power to men to rule, there is no 
God. The proper name of that god is Mammon. 
Priests are unnatural. Their teachings, their god and 
religion are unnatural. Jealousy, prejudice and all 
other branches of religion are unnatural. Laws are 
unnatural, for when we depart from Justice we are un- 
natural, because we go contrary to nature. Justice 
is everywhere present in eternity. There are no laws 
in eternity, hence no laws in nature. Law is fiction. 
Laws are the effects of evil and tyranical men. With 
the end of evil men comes the end of law.

LESSON XXII. 

Evil is in the ascendent upon our planet. That is, 
evil directs the affairs of life, business, etc. That is 
altogether unnatural. To monopolize the land, water 
and atmosphere is an unnatural proceeding. Neither 
are ours ; they do not belong to us. Thoy are the prop- 
erty of those who placed them here. To take by force 
(man made law) and hold possession of more than is 
required for our needs and wants is an unjust, and 
hence an unnatural, procedure. Every daughter and 
son of woman is entitled to their portion and no act 
of man nor men can take that right from them. We 
have no right but of occupancy, and that occupancy 
includes only the land, water and air that we can 
justly use. We are robbers when we hold possession of 
that which does not belong to us and exact tax or 
rental. My children, you cannot help but see the 
truths contained in those statements. The accumu- 
lation of wealth and power is an unjust and unnatural 
piece of business, coupled with fraud, chicanery, deceit 
and hypocrisy and no rational mind will deny the same. 
This wholesale kind of robbery was first inaugurated 
by the priests of religion. There were those among 
the people who did not believe in, or practice as di- 
rected by, the priests, and so by the laws of religion 
(called the canons of the church) they had their lands 
and beholdinss confiscated. That is, their own was 



—107— 

taken from them and added to the church property. 
Thus was the monopolizing of land begun upon our 
earth. In time the priests of religion became very 
wealthy and as opposition to their nefarious practices 
grew less they began to prey upon each other and the 
one religion stood as the head of many factions which 
afterward developed into creeds. The more powerful 
became rulers. One set of priests made declaration 
that their God sanctioned only the head of their creed 
to rule: another set declared otherwise, and in this 
way was the divine right formulated. War in all of 
its horrors followed, each creed claiming to have the 
sanction of their God, and the head pontiff or king was 
the divinely appointed. 

At that time all of the land upon our earth was lo- 
cated along and on both sides of the equator except 
the islands. There were four continents, each one 
separate from the other. The islands lay between 
those continents and the poles. But few of those 
islands had ever been visited, and as to the continents 
they did not have more than about six hundred millions 
of people. The crimes that had been committed in the 
name of religion were terrible, and the messengers, 
seeing this conflict and fearing the one sided condition 
that was sure to follow, determined to put an end to 
the whole affair. They selected the few who had re- 
mained true to ancient teachings, and took them 
to a place of safety. There were not above two hun- 
dred person-. When these people had made all pos- 
sible arrangements for their safety, the messengers 
turned the earth over in its orbit and changed the 
poles. The then poles became part of our present 



—108— 

equator, and the then equator, or a small portion, be- 
came our present poles. All of the people upon the 
planet, except those in safety were drowned, and thus, 
for the time at least, the carnival of blood was ended. 
This took place seven hundred and forty thousand 
years ago. In turning the planet the earth's motion 
was somewhat disturbed and the orbit was partly 
broken into. If astronomers will observe they will 
discover a slight wabble to the earth's motion as also 
that several minutes more are consumed by the earth 
in making its yearly journey. Now, children, I have 
given you a little scrap of history to go with your 
scientific studies. It will give you a little rest and 
interest you at the same time. 

When evil cannot find spirit to abuse, fight and 
plunder, then evil will attack evil. The more powerful 
assail and rob the weaker and make slaves ,of the con- 
quered. Religion being material, its supporters and 
followers have much evil and but very, very little 
spirit. Wherefore, virtue is not to be found in re- 
ligion, neither in the fathers of religion. There being- 
no virtue, then there is neither Justice, Mercy nor any 
other Divine attribute and the supporters and believers 
in religion are the most cruel, fanatical and henious 
of all things upon the planet. Religion does not recog- 
nize any right as belonging to those who do not recog- 
nize its claims. Tyranny, avarice -and vanity go with 
religion and neither are ever satisfied, its followers 
are brazen and will intrude themselves whenever and 
wherever they can. They are ever causing unrest, in- 
harmony and confusion. They practice all manner and 
kinds of evil. They have not honor among themselves. 



— 109 — 

They violate their own religions obligations and will 
perjure themselves for matter. There is no tie, no 
oath that can hold the men of evil. They are like the 
tiger. They have their jungles, and there, surround- 
ed by their whelps, they spurn their own acts, called 
law. They despise those who make their wealth and 
give them power. They retort with the hiss of a ser- 
pent and apply the lash like a demon. From out of 
religion cometh this evil. History has written the defi- 
nition of this most terrible word, religion. Those who 
do not believe me, peruse history and examine your 
own biography and that of those whom you know, and 
when you can say with honor that you are just, then 
write the biography of those whom you know are just, 
and see how much of a library you will have. Evil is 
ambitions and boisterous. Spirit cultivates Aspiration, 
is gentle as the dove, seeks for quiet and thrives on 
melody. Spirit courts serenit} r , is joyous and mirthful. 
Her companion is Mrtue and she longs for knowledge 
and Wisdom. Hope leads her as a little child. Music and 
her sister arts are her delight. She loves Truth and hence 
is the daughter of liberty. She is like a little child, she 
improveth in wisdom as she advanceth in years. She 
would be led, not driven. She hath and knoweth no 
law, for Justice is Her only code. She being just, re- 
quires freedom. Her home is eternity; her destiny 
forever, her support principle, her claim, a Divine 
Mother's Love. Whatever is natural is right — the un- 
natural is evil. The child praying to its parent for 
bread is unnatural, the parent supplicating a god 
is unnatural, wherefore prayer is evil, hence not 
a spiritual act but an act of evil. Evil being matter 



—110— 
individualized rides in the car and thus the first part 
of nature becomes the master, while spirit, the second 
part, becomes the slave — quantity dominating quality. 

Now, my children, do not expect to master all that 
J have given by one reading. There will be much that 
you will not understand at first, so I want you to read

LESSON XXIII. 

There are two things that we can create that become 
immortal and are an aid or help to our Divine Mother. 
What do you suppose they are? 

Those two things are spirit and virtue. Spirit life 
begins upon planets and progresses toward the sphere 
of Love which is the great center of the abode to 
which we belong. Beautiful thoughts, supported by 
principle, create spirit. Virtuous and sublime thoughts 
create virtue. When we are heroically supporting Jus- 
tice that faculty in our cranium which is dedicated to 
Justice is brought into requisition, and, in ratio to our 
sincerity and determination, coupled with the depths of 
our feelings which rest upon and are supported by 
principle, to that degree, or in that proportion, are we 
creating virtue. The soul within is looking after that 
virtue and aids in the creation of that virtue. This 
virtue is the most beautiful thing that we can create. 
When the soul has collected a little sphere of this vir- 
tue it is sent to the circle of Justice and your name is 
affixed at the place where it is received and you are 
credited for that virtue. At the very place where that 
virtue enters the great circle of Justice, you, too, will 
enter, when the time comes. That virtue has preceded 
you many billions of our years. But, my children, how 
happy we will be to find there, on our entrance, that 
which no mind can picture, no tongue describe. That 



— 115 — 

virtue meets you; you are at home. Your house is in 
order, your ecstacy is at the flood and will ever be so 
to those who are just. Not anything can ever mar your 
progress. You have a home in Eternity, not made with 
hands, but with thoughts that are as perpetual as 
time. They had their beginning, but they shall never 
end. You built upon principle, and hence your im- 
mortality is secure. You will live and progress for- 
ever. Children, strive to gain that inheritance. Be 
just and fear not. The bliss and the possibilities that 
are in store you know not, but ye can know. I have 
drank of the fountain and so can you. You may be 
poor. So, too, was I. Evil may weigh heavi]y upon 
you and there have been times when this monster evil 
would have crushed me into the earth. Persecution 
and prosecution have had their play. Victory remains 
with me. While penning these lines there hovered 
around me the beautiful and loving form of Justice. 
Could I describe, I would. But, children, I cannot. I 
would love to make you happ}^ and serene forever, 
Hope, and place your trust in our loving Divine 
Mother. 

Spirit remains here — (bear in mind I am talking to 
you as a spirit. You are a spirit; I am a spirit — as 
much so as we ever will be unless we have been think- 
ing and doing evil. Then we are not spiritual. The 
little spirit within may be a slave and have no liberty 
to act, and consequently our machinery be at the ser- 
vice of evil, in which case we would not be as much 
spirit as we will be, provided we do not become too evil 
and be annihilated. Do you get the idea?) — where it 
is created for the purpose of aiding in propagating 



— 116 — 

other life. Spirit can only acquire knowledge and wis- 
dom when united to virtue in the form of a soul. When 
a planet has run its course, then the spirit that is left 
is taken to the storehouse of spirit principles. The 
principles go of themselves. Spirit is of the singular 
number. It is not graded, for it is all alike. Virtue 
is more than spirit. You, as a distinct and separate 
spirit, create spirit through the faculties of the spirit, 
but to create virtue, the faculties of virtue must be 
employed and then your soul can act. Now, if we have 
no thought of virtue, never think of virtue, neither 
support nor care for. virtue, neither do we care for 
the soul, the gift of our Divine Mother, and hence we 
create no virtue and are not uniting ourselves to that 
soul. Do you understand? Do you now begin to un- 
derstand why it is that so few people are born upon 
the spiritual plane of the spirit world ? Those virtues 
are twelve in number and I want you to learn their 
names and then learn the definition of each. Be- 
come familiar with them and practice their inculca- 
tions. The twelve Divine Virtues are the attributes 
of our Divine Mother. And again, we should not for- 
get that Mother gave us the soul that makes of us a 
personality, and we should at least return sufficient 
virtue to show our gratitude. Don't you think so? 
You would not be what you are, a personality, but for 
that soul. The spirit must have virtue to form around 
before it can think, reason or act in any way. The 
principles of spirit use spirit to grow our fruits, ber- 
ries, grains and other vegetation. When spirit once 
rinds virtue then it becomes a personality and then 
progression is the word, and spirit, happy with virtue, 



— 117 — 

becomes a moving, acting, thinking reasoning indi- 
vidual, whether bird, animal or human. Thus spirit 
united to a soul progresses forever. 

Now that we are spirits thus prepared, we should 
lose no time, no opportunity to perfect ourselves as 
much as possible for that future that never ends, but 
is always the future. Travel as fast as we will, that 
future becomes no less. It is ever in advance, ever 
beckoningusontonew fields of discovery, new problems 
for solution. You are now a personality. You have 
been taught what matter is — the first proposition in 
nature — and I have told you how spirit is created, and 
that you are a spirit. That is the second proposition 
in nature. The soul does not belong to the domain 
of nature. I have taught you how to secure- that soul 
and become immortal. That soul is created in the 
home of Love. It is created out of the twelve Divine 
Virtues, either by our Divine Mother or Her messen- 
gers of Love, generally the latter. Now, when you 
create virtue, our Mother and Her messengers take that 
virtue, when there is sufficient of it, and create a soul. 
Thus you furnish the virtue for the most beautiful 
thing in Eternity, and when you meet that soul you 
will know it, as though it had always been in your 
presence. Again, that little soul will know you. That 
meeting will be more to you than I am able to tell, 
or you are able to realize here and now. We can all 
become creators. You now know how to create spirit 
and virtue and you also know how to create evil. 
Which do you prefer? Xow is your time to choose. 
Would you be immortal and create for immortality, 
oi- do you prefer to remain among the idols of fiction. 



— 118 — 

the fabrications of avaricious and cruel men, a gor- 
mandizer of matter, a worshipper of gods, a thing of 
evil, with no hope of immortality after your second 
birth ? You must choose. jS"o one can do for you that 
which you must do for yourselves. I am leading you 
by the hand along the only pathway that leads to im- 
mortality. I am aiding you to help yourself. Can you 
refuse to choose ?

To teachers and parents: Please glean the points 
I have made and present them with all the ability at 
your command. I am giving Divine Truths. I have 
given some things that have heretofore never been re- 
corded by anyone upon this planet. You will find that 
all is rational and natural and hence no fiction. I am 
not a romancer. I have no time to falsify. Thous- 
and of problems are here before me awaiting solution. 



— 121 — 

I have turned aside to help you. Do not ask who I 
am, but get at the facts and truths I have recorded. 
Sometime you will know me and then you will be happy 
that you followed the path I laid out for you. I know 
I have given the truth, but not all, yet enough. Great 
changes are coming.

LESSON XXIV. 

What are the names of those twelve Divine Virtues? 
I will give them to you in their mathematical order — 
Justice, Temperance, Prudence, Aspiration, Fortitude, 
Philanthropy, Patience, Mercy, Hope, Truth, Wisdom, 
Love. 

We are born in matter. Our coming in matter was 
our first birth. When first born we could not think. 
We were helpless little babes. But there was that soul, 
created out of those twelve Virtues, and that soul, 
aided by the spirit principles, aided and conducted our 
little spirit self. That spirit (you and I) was furnished 
by our mothers. Now, if our fathers were spiritual 
men, then by their thoughts and kind words and love 
toward our mother they aided that mother, and also 
gave a little spirit. But if they had no thought resting 
upon principle and were given to evil, then they gave 
us no spirit. Their duty toward our mothers is to give 
support spiritually for that new life — you and I. We 
had no previous existence. We were a new creation 
and our success as spiritual beings depended upon our 
creators, our parents. That spirit was a part of our 
mother's thoughts, the substance of her thinking. 
That spirit was collected by the spirit principles and 
placed in its proper place. Those principles belonged 
to our mothers. They had been loaned to them by our 
Divine Mother. Those principles belong to us only, 



—123— 

when, by spiritual thoughts and deeds, we make our- 
selves worthy and can claim and possess them. Then 
they are ours forever — a gift from our Divine Mother. 
I want you to understand about your beginning. I 
want to make it as plain as it can be written. 

Again, the first particle of spirit that was provided 
for us was taken possession of by those principles. 
Our soul had not yet come. We were like unto a tiny 
drop of water — no form, no thought. Those principles 
gave it form. The parents must give the thought that 
produces the spirit. But, if they gave no spiritual 
thoughts, then those principles took of our mother's 
spirit or procured it from the air she breathed. This 
little spirit — you and I — just beginning, was surround- 
ed by prepared matter. That was furnished by the 
principles of matter. The placing of that matter was 
attended to by the spirit principles, and they possess 
Wisdom. You see, my children, the supplying depends 
upon our parents, and you will observe how necessary 
it is that they be spiritual and not material. For three 
months this new creation — you and I — was ma- 
nipulated by those spirit principles. Our mother's soul 
was in communication, and aided in this 1 new creation, 
yet unknown to our mothers, they were ignorant of life 
and its creation. The people of our planet are ig- 
norant of spiritual science, of all that is sublime and 
beautiful, but at the same time they subscribe to re- 
ligion and waste their time and means in supporting 
a bagnio of priests. At the end of three months (that 
was our age) our soul came. It was sent by a messen- 
ger of Love. I know this messenger and have conversed 
with her many times. She has charge of the place 



—124— 

from which all the little souls that come to this system 
and to the system where Sinus is (sometimes called the 
Dog Star). This lovely woman has a great number of 
messengers who assist her in this work. When the 
little soul came it took up its place of residence in the 
vcrv center of spirit. Up to this time we were but a 
dual creation. Xow, however, all is changed; we are 
triune, we are a personality, and to remain such we 
must practice principle. We were born in matter; we 
must be born out of matter and progress to the home 
from whence our soul came. To secure a home in the 
great Sphere of Love we muct practise virtue. Those 
virtues can lead and teach us. Those virtues are the 
attributes of our Divine Mother. They emanate from 
Her and penetrate to every part of Eternity. Look at 
our sun. It sends it rays to every part of our planetary 
system. But for that sun there would be no life in 
this system. Heat, light, etc., are principles. Our 
Divine Mother is to her eternity much more than that 
sun is to our plunetary system. This is the best illus- 
tration that can be given, and yet, it is weak, a poor 
comparison. We should reflect back those virtues by 
being virtuous and creating virtue. We should be so 
virtuous that we, too, could send out virtue in imitation 
of our Divine Mother., we might say; that wherever 
our Mother is, there is the center of all immensity. 
Xow suppose we become little, centers by creating a 
halo of virtue around us. We can never be at the head 
of a band of messengers until we excel in virtue. Here 
and now is the place to begin. You and 
I were created here. To our parents are we under ob- 
ligatioris for just what wc an; or were as children. 



—125— 

They furnished the foundation. Spirit of itself is 
immortal, but spirit by itself would be of no more im- 
portance in Eternity than a drop of water. For being- 
important are we indebted to our Divine Mother. She 
furnished the principles and then the soul. Those be- 
long to Her and are a part of Eternity. But spirit, 
without that soul, would remain with nature. Spirit 
must imbibe, collect, take on and grow virtue; where- 
fore, if we would become immortal, we must grow our- 
selves (spirit) to that soul's requirements. 

Children, I am addressing you as spirits, not as evil 
or having a particle of evil. You act, think and move 
as a spirit. You are free to think as you please. The 
soul is there in the very center of your brain awaiting 
your actions. It is for you to make the effort your- 
selves if you would have that soul, so as to secure 
your immortality. You must weave the connections — 
not with religion and its evils; I have told you how. 
In giving you these lessons I am giving you a helping 
hand and I shall expect of you an effort in the right 
direction. It is much easier and more pleasant to be 
virtuous than to be evil. Virtue gives immortality. 
Evil has not anything to offer, except it be annihilation, 
death. I am doing my duty by womankind; you must 
do yours. I point out the way but I cannot force you 
against your desires or wills to travel that path. You 
must have the Aspiration. It is as easy to get clean of 
evil as it is to get rid of dirt on your hands or face by 
washing them. Justice is the first of our Mother's Vir- 
tues, and it i- Justice and Her messengers who attend 
to those evil doers. Their time will come. To be just 
is the beginning of virtue. Be just to yourself, and 



—126— 

then demand the same from others. For your first 
birth your parents were responsible, for your second 
birth you are responsible. This second birth people call 
death. This is not true. You do not die. You pass 
out of your material bodies, and, if you have been evil, 
you are material and you will remain in and upon the 
material plane. But if you are a spiritual person you 
will be taken by the messengers to the spiritual plane, 
away from matter, from material surroundings and 
material and evil people. Prejudice, Jealousy, Avarice, 
Vanity, Cruelty, etc., etc., are all material and hence 
evil. Be just and defend yourselves if evil assails you. 
Resist evil with thought and voice. Do not permit evil 
to enslave you. Trample it into the earth where it 
belongs, for matter should be at our service and its 
proper place is under our feet.

LESSOX XXV. 

I have discoursed to you on the subject of life, spirit, 
you yourself; of your beginning and your creators, a 
most beautiful theme containing many problems, prob- 
lems that have heretofore never been satisfactorily 
answered. I have told you that Truth comes to us ill 
problems. Those problems must be solved before we 
can claim or possess Wisdom. You will please ob- 
serve how foolish and deceitful are the claims of priest- 
craft when they tell you that the fear of the Lord is 
the beginning of Wisdom. There is not even hog sense 
in such a statement. Such gibberish has been doled our 
to womankind for thousands of years, and, strange as 
it may seem, this folly dished out with the spoons of 
deceit and sophistry, has been swallowed by myraids 
of human beings and pronounced good. Even people 
calling themselves spiritualists, liberals and progres- 
sionists subscribe to such fabrications. I do not want 
you who read these lessons to be Jonas, neither to pose 
as whales. Problems are solved by spiritual science. 
Thus we acquire Truth, and in proportion to the amount 
of truth in our possession, so in that ratio have we 
acquired Wisdom. Xo more: no less. Wisdom is the 
eleventh of the Divine Virtues. I will in this connection 
give you another sublime truth. Wisdom is the light 
of Eternity. Ignorance is darkness. Keligion is one 
dark and dismal night of ignorance. Where there is 



— 130 — 

religion there is not Wisdom, and hence no Truth. 
Truth leads to Wisdom and Wisdom gives us light. 
Thus is the darkness dispelled and we are free. Spirit 
grows toward the light. A tree grows upward through 
the air and the affinity of attraction, caused by gravi- 
tation, toward the light. If we are just to ourselves 
we will grow tow r ard that soul. That soul was created 
out of those twelve Virtues. It has its beginning. 
Your soul was created in the sphere of Love millions 
of years ago. It remained there to receive instructions 
and be prepared before it was sent forth, wherefore our 
souls have wisdom of which we know not. That soul 
acts through the faculties of intuition and conscience. 
There is no person living but at some time has been 
warned by that soul not to commit evil. You have 
heard the remarks, "The prick of conscience;" she or 
he was "Too conscientious," and similar remarks. If 
we do not heed those warnings the faculty becomes 
closed and is of no use to us or the soul. Evil is re- 
pulsive to virtue, and yet that little soul will remain 
until every debt has been canceled. It remains true 
to its Divine Mother and the messenger that created 
it. When Justice has been satisfied then that soul 
withdraws and we are left a duality. Then the spirit 
principles withdraw. The tiny bit of spirit goes with 
those principles and is left in the air or taken to the 
storehouse. Evil goes back to matter. This ends all. 
That is death — annihilation. 

Again, my children, do you see the necessity of being 
just? How very important it is for us to be persons 
of principle. The contemplation of death brings 
gloom. Oh, horrid nightmare of religion, thy victims 



— 131 — 

number millions! Let no one who reads this book 
ever again sacrifice principle, neither trample upon 
Justice. I am giving yon truths that you cannot deny 
without committing evil. You can play the role of 
hypocrite, tyrant, glutton, priest and knave here and 
now, but with your second birth you cease to rule, to 
rob, to ply your knavery only in a very limited way, 
and then only with those very much like yourself. 
You will remain upon the material plane and unless 
you have been one whose acts have caused hundreds 
of hearts to ache you will quite likely remain there for 
ten or twenty years before the messengers call for you. 
But if you are a Shylock, a glutton, and have brought 
sorrow and tears, caused misery and crime, perpe- 
trated henious offenses, taken away the liberties of 
others, then at your exit from your material casket 
you will be taken charge of by a messenger and you 
will never again visit the earth. Never will you see 
green fields nor hear the laugh and speech of inno- 
cence. Your day has passed forever; you will be placed 
by yourself and then you will begin your work of re- 
paying and adjusting your accounts, of settling your 
debt?, canceling your obligations. No principle, no vir- 
tue. When the accounts are squared then comes the 
end — known no more forever. Oblivion is the only 
claimant. This, my children, is the end of evil. 

Would you sacrifice immortality for a flesh pot? 
1 think not. I am in hopes that everyone who reads 
these lessons will turn over a new leaf and begin to 
undo the evils of which they are guilty and adopt the 
practicing of principle and the support of Justice. I 
am giving you the only guide to immortality. I know 



— 1S2— 

that immortality is a truth. I have settled that matter 
for myself and if you doubt me, set to work as I have 
and prove it for yourself. I! is easy of accomplishment. 
Much more so than to rob your neighbors by despoil- 
ing them of life, liberty and hard earnings. "Rulers 
and officials, generally speaking, are thieves. They 
are always planning and scheming to rob someone, if 
not a whole multitude. It is a lamentable fact, and 
yet the great majority of the people are too ignorant 
to percieve it. The fact is this: The few are con- 
tinually pilfering the many. But, my children, the 
days are growing less. The people have about run 
their course. This people will pass away and there 
shall be no more evil upon this planet. Ye who are 
young will live to see the beginning of the end ; yea, the 
beginning is now with us, and the leavening i? a I: work. 
Remember what I tell you and have no fear.

LESSO^ XXVI. 

When we have been in eternity six to eight quadril- 
lion octillions of our years we will have become suffi- 
ciently wise to create a soul. We can create spirit and 
bring forth life here and now with but little effort. 
But to create a soul is quite another thing, my children. 
Virtue is more than spirit. The Virtue of Justice is 
always just. The Virtue Wisdom includes every Vir- 
tue that precedes her. We will have to become ac- 
quainted with those Virtues and understand them ere 
we can create so valuable a piece of workmanship. 
Then again, when we have attained to that wisdom we 
must have Love. This sublime and beautiful Virtue 
is not a problem. All of the other virtues are, but not 
so with Love. She stands out and beyond the grasp 
or range of the finite. She is more than Eternity, and 
forever will be more than we can comprehend. Love 
aids our Divine Mother, and She will aid us, if we but 
make ourselves worthy. The people of our planet are 
too ignorant to even comprehend spirit; are unac- 
quainted with life, and so it is impossible to give them 
much of a dissertation upon so important a proposition 
as those beautiful Divine Virtues. If we would create 
a soul we must furnish the virtues required. When 
I create a soul I take that soul and present it to our 
Divine Mother in the home of Love. Our Mother gives 
it the divine spark, Divithene, and from that moment 



—136— 

that soul belongs to our Mother, and, like our Divine 
Mother, eternity is forever its home. Now, if you have 
the faculty of conscience opened, that little soul of 
yours will make its presence known to you. This is done in 
several ways, for it depends upon some kind of medium- 
ship when those faculties that belong to it are not in 
use. You may feel the magnetic chill, or even get the 
though direct. If you are sensitive you may get a re- 
sponse, even though you be very evil. There are those 
who are good and spiritual in a degree who have not a 
particle of mediumship. Do not forget you have 
twelve faculties for those virtues to work through. Bear 
in mind mediumship is a faculty — in fact, several of 
our faculties respond. It is only ignorant people who 
will tell you that mediumship is a gift. Hypnotism is 
black magic, and I advise you never to permit anyone 
to practice it upon you. Hypnotic development never 
produced a spiritual medium. All hypnotists are sur- 
rounded by a black, motley crowd of spirits. I again 
warn you to have not anything to do with those hyp- 
notizers. It would be just as foolish to expect to de- 
velop the faculty of mechanics or painting by the hyp- 
notic process as to expect the development of medium- 
ship. Bear in mind, a knowledge of words may be as 
barren of Wisdom as a rock is of sense. Beason be- 
longs to and is the leading faculty of all the spiritual 
faculties. Beason is or should be the guide. Beason 
coupled to the virtuous faculties gives the profound 
scientist. Science is strictly a spiritual proposition. 
Rob science of its spiritual robes and you have plucked 
r hi rd of beauty, of all that made it beautiful. Be- 
side-, it pines, lingers and dies. Science is just,- tern- 



—la;— 

perate. aspiring and possesses the fortitude to express 
its convictions; philanthropic, patient, merciful, hope- 
ful, truthful, wise and loving. The vivisectionist, vac- 
cinationist and lyniphites are not the possessors of one 
virtue or spiritual acquirement and hence are only 
bawlers. That is, make much ado to attract attention. 
They lack every qualification that is required of or 
for a scientist. They are cruel, brazen, deceitful and 
in a word beastly. Even good breeding and chastity 
is seldom permitted a place with those medical (so- 
called) scientists. Xo one, my dear children, can be a 
scientist until they have acquired spirituality and vir- 
ture. Science is like a tender, affectionate and loving- 
mother. It is through and by spiritual science that 
we discover and locate the road that leads to immor- 
tality. That which is called medical science is a spe- 
cies of cannibalism combined with fakerism that was 
born of religion and imposed upon the people the same 
as all other frauds have been. Wherever and whenever 
you discover tyranny, cruelty, licentiousness and their 
accompaniments, you can rest certain that among such 
people there is neither science, spirituality nor virtue. 
Do you know why ? Yes ; because there is no principle. 
Where there is no principle there is no honor. When 
men have given up all honor they should be spurned as 
vipers. Science, like Christianity, has been misused, 
been debased, has been trampled in the filth of evil by 
coxcombs — men of avarice, of vanity, avaricious glut- 
tons who have no regard for Justice or liberty. I love 
science, I love Christianity, I love Spiritualism. They 
open the way for me to know what, how, who and where 
I am. They direct me along the only avenue that leads 



—138— 

to immortality. They make known to me the wonder- 
ful possibilities that lie before me. They drive away 
the horrid nightmare of delusion and open up an ever 
beautiful vista to my enquiring mind. I have drank at 
the fountain, I have quenched my thirst, and I would 
have you who read these lines do the same. The door 
to the great Temple of Eternity has been opened for 
me and I have* seen the beginning that never ends. - I 
am preparing for that second birth; I am building a 
home inside that beautiful temple and I want you to 
do the same. I would have every little child on this 
globe of ours to enjoy with me the scenes and raptures 
of delight that will be mine when this fitful hour has 
passed, and I have finished the work that is mine. No 
one can destroy the work I have begun. Priests and 
tyrants may wish. They can do no more. Justice shall 
have a hearing and Truth shall be given that which be- 
longs to Her, and then comes the end of evil, of de- 
ceitful men, of tyrants and their kingdoms. Unto that 
day let all prepare. Unite, one for all and all for one, 
that none shall say I have not liberty.

LESSOX XXVII. 

There are no laws in Eternity. Laws are man-made. 
Justice is everywhere in Eternity. Justice provides 
system — system gives order and order produces har- 
mony. You have heard it said that natural law govern- 
ed this or that. Do not be surprised when I tell you 
that >uch a thing as law has no place in nature. Laws 
are an institution of priestcraft. Laws were created 
to take the place of Justice. In no other way could the 
priests efface Justice from among the affairs of men. 
For millions of years have the priests made even- 
effort to eradicate the name of Justice from among the 
children of woman, but they have failed. That 
soul within kept alive the torch and here and there 
was emblazoned the beautiful name of Justice that 
never had marred the life of one being. Justice gives 
us our rights. Law robs us of those rights. Justice 
cannot be manipulated in behalf of evil, but law can. 
Law is a mongrel. Tis like a string that is made out 
of many fibers. It can be twisted many times and then 
tied into many knots. Law is a hypocrite, a knave, 
the first born of religion. Law is necessary for the suc- 
cess of evil, the czar of Russia, pope of Rome and 
all other rulers and tyrants could not exist but 
for law. Our Declaration of Rights contains the prin- 
ciples, but our Constitution fall- shorl of providing 



—142— 

the substance. That Constitution should have con- 
tained the word of all words for the guidance of the 
people, JUSTICE (append, for all, special privileges 
to none). Our liberties would then have been safe. 
Truth would have received a hearing. Truth is the 
mother of liberty. Law is the support of tyrants. The 
priests, with their religion and law, oppose Justice and 
Truth. Such a thing as religious liberty has no place, 
in the books of common sense. It is but the gabble of 
magpies, a tool of the sophists, a devil fish with many 
tentacles, a beguiler, a deceiver, a knave that misleads 
and ensnares the children of woman. Priestcraft is 
the curse of the earth, its religion the bane of the 
earth, and laws are the tools' for its children to prac- 
tice its chicanery and robbery. Laws pass away when 
evil ceases to exist. If there were no evil people, there 
would be no law. Hence law is an effect. Trace this 
effect to its source and you will get the answer. Lib- 
erty is an effect. Freedom gives us liberty, wherefore 
freedom is the cause. Freedom is an effect, the cause 
Truth. Truth is an attribute of ouf Divine Mother. 
Farther we cannot go, we have reached the source. 
The fountain head. What holds two grains of sand to- 
gether? Is it law — the so-called law of affinity? No. 
If not law what is it? I answer, the principles that 
have united with matter that make a unit, or solid, out 
of two particles, or units. Thus, my children, you will 
perceive that law is a mirage, a soap bubble, a tool 
for sophists. Nothing less, nothing more. 

The practicing of Justice is the beginning of Wis- 
dom. Spirit, to be of importance, must be supported 
by principle. To make spirit of still greater impor- 



—143— 

tance, we must ally or adjoin, grow it to virtue. Here 
is where we must get and secure the recognition of 
Justice. Thus we become the children of Justice 
when we reach the Circle of Justice. Then Justice 
turns us over to Truth. We are now messengers of 
Truth. The next important move is to become messen- 
gers of Love. This takes place when we have made 
ourselves proficient in all the virtues up to and in- 
cluding Wisdom. We remain in the Circle of Love until 
love grants us permission to take up our residence in- 
side the sphere of Love. There is our home. The 
sphere of Love is of immense dimensions. I have told 
you that the diameter of the abode is seventy-six quad- 
rillion decillions of our miles. This is an immense 
diameter, but, my children, we are dealing with that 
which appertains to Eternity, and we must prepare 
ourselves accordingly. Our Divine Mother has much 
for Her children to do. For instance, the surveying 
and building or preparing of those immense abodes 
is one of the employments. This is a gigantic under- 
taking, and yet, my children, it is infinitesimal when 
compared to some of the other employments that are 
given us. True, we cannot comprehend the amount 
of territory that is contained in one of those abodes, 
but we can try. Our little undertakings here are truly 
trivial when we draw the contrast. However, we are 
all young. We are only children. We have not yet 
been born out of matter. We are encumbered with 
those material bodies of ours. We cannot converse to- 
gether by thought transference and receptance. We 
must use our vocal organs if we would make our wants 
known. Over yonder, my children, it will not be 



—Ml — 

so. The grander your character here the greater your 
opportunities yonder. Your foundation must be prin- 
ciple. Virtue, like spirit, must have the support of 
principle. The principles that support virtue arc called 
the principles of Eternity. When you become 1 an in- 
habitant of Eternity you must have principle for your 
support instead of matter. Recollect, matter is only 
used in the construction of suns and planets and that 
which appertains to them. The most important factor 
is the creation and brinsino; forth of life. The ter- 
ritory usedfor this purpose is very small when compared 
to the territory that is used for other purposes. I am in 
in hopes that some of you who read these lessons will 
have sufficient Aspiration to become messengers of 
Justice. You can if you will. It is clone by practicing 
and promulgating those twelve Divine Virtues. Then 
again, you are preparing yourself for your transition 
from this mortal to the immortal. The transition is 
our second birth. To say, "The child died," is too 
silly for discussion, and yet, we feel it is necessary to 
say something more upon the subject. Tile child did 
not die. The ignorance and hypocrisy of the priests 
of religion and medicine is so very infamous that it 
would seem to any rational mind that the time had 
come that an estoppal or muzzle of some kind should 
be affixed to those vultures of the race. This America, 
once the hope of all the lovers of liberty, is being de- 
spoiled and stripped of every principle, every virtue. 
Let the prie>t> say what they will, there is no death 
i scept thai of evil, takes place here. The transition 
of little children is fearful to contemplate. Can you 
not locate the cause? Deprived of their birthright 



—115— 

&nd hurried into Eternity, as is the case in ninety cases 
in every one hundred, is a crime that is most rapidly 
hurrying the end of all. It is a horrid and dismal state 
of affairs. It is so unnatural that it causes a shudder 
as we write.

LESSOX XXVIII. 

In our last lesson we had something to say about 
the forced transition of little children. I do not like 
to dwell upon the subject, for it is too sad. But Jus- 
tice must be done, and I love Justice, and love to pre- 
sent Her claims. I am a supporter or Justice and a 
defender of Truth, and I know their enemies, and 
while I remain here I shall do my duty to Virtue and the 
little children. I shall see the despoilers brought to the 
bar and I will be one who will not shirk one respon- 
sibility nor one duty. Those beasts in human forms 
who for greed and gluttony enslave children and 
force them to toil and wear out their lives to enrich 
them selves with lucre shall be brought low. Every 
child despoiled will have an opportunity to see those 
beastly dragons repay the theft of life, of sorrow and 
misery. Have hope, my dear children, for I tell yon 
a truth. I know. I have solved^ many problems, I 
have been the recipient of much wisdom, and I come 
t( - you with this little book that you may share with 
me. I want yon to be with me and to share with me the 
joys that are in store. The opportunities/ you are rob- 
bed of here by beastly men will be returned to you and 
you shall have the privilege of acquiring that which 
i> yours- They that cause you to cry for bread will 
shed ten-fold more bitter tears. For every unjust act 
to ;i child they shall pay ten-fold. Justice requires 



—149— 

that the measure be full. Hearken unto me, I will not de- 
ceive you. I am giving you of the bread of life; eat 
and you shall never again go hungry. In our Divine 
Mother's Eternity we will receive bountifully. She is 
a Mother of Love and Her children are the messengers 
that will guide and instruct us and prepare us for 
the future that lies ever beyond, and the horizon of 
which we will never reach. The meridian will ever 
be over us, for there is neither morning nor evening. 
The light of Eternity never sets. Its lustre never 
grows dim. The morning and evening never come. 
Ti> forever the noon hour, ever at meridian and for- 
ever a delight and a joy. Our studies, recreations and 
work, like Eternity, and forever mapped out before us. 
Our Divine Mother never dictates, never commands. 
She only requests. She has Her time for study, recre- 
ation and work, and Her children follow Her example. 
First, recreation; second, study; third, recreation; 
fourth, work. Our work is but one-fourth of our time, 
so, too, is our study. Eecreation consumes half of our 
time. To visit is a most glorious pastime. Think 
of going to an adjoining abode, the miles we must 
travel to get there, and then the reception that is ten- 
dered us. Tho' you may never have seen those people, 
yet they are your sisters and brothers, your near and 
dear friends, children of our Divine Mother; Her mes- 
sengers of Love, and they know how to love or they 
could not have become messengers of Love. They take 
delight in entertaining you. Their places of amuse- 
ment are such that we here have but a faint glimmer 
of what an entertainmenl is. I have several times con- 
versed with a lovely woman from our abode who has 



—150— 

a band of over three million players (musicians). She 
told me that there were bands containing an hundred 
times more players. I was much surprised when she 
told me that nine out of ten were women and children 
and again, that they gave some wonderful entertain- 
ments. That scarcely a year (of our time) passed but 
that there was some great jubilee, a wonderful musi- 
cale, and the attendance on such occasions was beyond 
my comprehension. The entertainments given by 
poets and painters is another most sublime feature. 
Theatrical plays interspersed with music, painting and 
poetry, all of which go beyond the reach of our poor, 
little, weak imaginations. Then again, there are the 
libraries where the historical societies hold forth. 
Those libraries, my children, are so large and contain 
so many volumes, that it is almost mystifying. Histo- 
ries of Eternity almost without number, and then the 
biographies, works on science and the Divine arts, etc. All 
of those and much more. Why, my children, Eternity 
is a very busy place. It is no place for idlers or idol- 
ators. It will take us forever, and then we will not see 
the end. Can you get the idea of no end? Evil has 
an end; people who are too evil will be annihilated. 
But aside from evil there is no annihilation. Spirit 
united to virtue is immortal. I know this is a truth. 
I have seen and talked to our Divine Mother. That 
loving Mother has told me of Her beautiful Eternity. 
She has told me many beautiful things and it would 
be a great pleasure for me to sit down and have you 
with me so I could tell you about that loving Mother 
and the many beautiful things She told me. There 
will be some people, no doubt, who will say that I am 



—151— 

only imaginative ; that it was not true. Do not believe 
them, but hearken to what I have told you, and fol- 
low the path that I have given you to travel in. I 
know how evil people are, and I also know, that, as a 
rule, people who are evil and are given to falsehood 
judge other people by themselves. Wealth and posi- 
tion are the only objects most people have in view, 
and to acquire the same they will stoop to all kinds of 
evil. Of life they know not anything. Of their destiny 
they have no conception. They do not want the truth; 
they care not for facts. They oppose Justice when and 
where they can. They practice deception and hypoc- 
risy and when the fitful fever overtakes them they call 
around the bedside priests like unto themselves and 
make peace with their God. Such shams and delusions 
are only fit company for the followers of religion. On 
every hand truth presents us with her phenomena. Who 
has given Truth a welcome by solving any of those 
problems ? We have our theological, medical and law 
schools, where delusion and deception are taught, in 
the main, and where Justice and Truth are discarded 
or seldom alluded to. Then again we have those who 
are called spiritualists and liberals, another motly 
crowd, scarce removed from priestcraft, who play with 
phenomena as children play, in the sand. They, too, 
are delusive, for they proclaim themselves that which 
they are not. On every hand, my children, you see 
the statues of delusion, the hand work of evil. 

To destroy those rookeries is a part of my work. 
Hence I have given you this little book, this guide to 
immortality, that none might err but all have an op- 
portunity to prepare for a fruitful harvest. Krishna 



—158— 

has told us that. "'As we sow, so also shall we reap." In 
this hook I have told you how to prepare and sow your 
crop. It remains for you to choose whether you will 
sow properly or improperly. I have done my duty, you 
must do yours. Xo one can sow a spiritual harvest for 
another to gather. Be not deceived, neither be thou 
content until all are free. Whosoever teaches differently 
from the inculcations and precepts given in this book 
are in error, and you will so find after your second 
birth. 

May our Divine Mother's Love and smile and blessing- 
be with all of Her children, is the sincere wish and As- 
piration of yours truly,
